We're home!

As I survey the debris removed from the van, I am amazed that we managed to fit all this stuff plus 9 people in the van:) Been home for 3 days and still the living room looks like a bomb went off! Our trip went great. Along the way we saw almost everyone in the family save for Connie and Kirk. They were just too far out the loop (this time!). Looking back, I learned some interesting tidbits. I thought I would share them with you.

1. California barking spiders are EVERYWHERE!

2. The Alamo is not a dinky little building between a McDonald's and big buildings downtown (sorry, Kevin). It was a very interesting 4.2 acres of history.

3. No matter how much time we spent there, or the many books we read on the subject, we still can't remember what happened at the Alamo (pop quiz on the way home showed we didn't learn very much!)

4. It costs $8 to be properly serenaded these days.

5. Literal Little did not appreciate nor enjoy Gma's jokes (the jokes were corny, but it was a long ride home).

6. Bryce apparently has been watching Dirty Dancing judging by the way he danced at the wedding. Maybe we can all pick up some pointers!

7. 3,000 miles later and no one was accidentally pushed out of the van (we did consider Fedex'n one home)

A special thank you goes out to Aunt Tanny and Aunt Carol for the car riding goodies.

We still have some goodies left from Aunt Tanny's bags packed away for another trip (Shelby said we had to come see you next year, so watch out!)

Cutting the cake (he was nice to her)

Their adopted kids on the Riverwalk (Bryce LOVES Kim!)
We've just been seranaded:)

Bert's considering flying the rest of the way home!

Happy 13th to Em and Jake

It's a happy boy!
