~Day 194: First Day Headed Home

Today we left grandma Jocelyn and grandpa Mike's house in Idaho to drive back to Arizona. Grandma Connie and Grandpa Len came to say goodbye too. I tried to get a serious picture, but it never worked out just right. When I looked at what I did get, I realized that serious is not how this family is all the time. This shows some of the personality we love. 

Grandma had just gotten done tickling B and the kids were being goofy.

The kids have had such a wonderful time this week, but we can tell they are missing their own beds. Time to head home. 

World Cup soccer was on before we left. We stayed to watch the first half then took off. Glad we didn't stay to watch the whole thing since Argentina lost to Germany. Sad thing. Oh well....

We stopped in SLC on the way down to meet my parents because we had to get a few forgotten items from when we stayed there earlier in the week. It was hot outside so we stood in the shade for a picture. Lovely splotchy picture it is too.  Good to see my parents one last time before leaving. 

We made it just outside Cedar City tonight. My cousin Roni and her family were gracious enough to let us overtake their house for a night. Our kids first met YEARS ago when they were probably too young to remember. And some of our kids were not even heard of. 

But they made fast friends tonight and are excited to pick up tomorrow where they left off today. I am very excited to see Roni again tonight after so many years since the last time we connected. 

Tomorrow we start up our travels again. Hope to make it home with everyone still in one piece. And sane. Been a fabulous trip, but looking forward to our own home.
