Technically, it’s Kansas Day 9 and the dreaded drive home
when everyone’s seriously exhausted and all I can see ahead is a mountain of
laundry and work to do outside once we do get home. Poor Ellie has a skin rash
from something…sun, wind, sunscreen, who knows. It doesn’t seem to bother her
unless we have to clean her face. Hopefully it’ll clear up soon.
The boys are watching ninja turtles cartoons non-stop and
mostly getting along. When we left camp Gabe wanted to know what activity I had
planned for the way back home. I laughed and told him mom only planned for the
trip out. Sleeping and movie watching it is, pal.
The boys smelling stinky feet to pass the time.
I think they were just a little bit delirious.
Casey’s still driving. He must have logged over 40 hours of
driving these past 8 days. It’s nice having a husband who doesn’t mind doing
the driving.
We stopped in Topeka at the mall for lunch. Met our church's new youth pastor in our two day old dirty clothes, and generally camp-y filthiness. Made a wonderful first impression, I'm sure!
So, to recap our little vacation. We had six days of pure
fun, two and a half days of traveling, and we can’t wait to do another Summer
Colorado vacation in the future.
And, then we were home and the children wasted no time breaking out their old toys while we unpacked.
