Monday morning was spent packing up and cleaning up to get ready to head out. On our way back to Dave and Stephanie's house, we stopped at a nickel arcade. It was much fancier than the one by our house in Colorado - but also more expensive. We had a good time though and it was a fun little bit of family time.
Tuesday, we got up and packed up one last time before heading home. We got a good start and made good time to Portland, so we had time to stop at the Temple and show the kids where we were married, we walked around the grounds and the Visitor's Center before heading to the airport. The trip back went well - David slept for a good amount and though he got a bit fussy at the end, it wasn't too bad - there were enough empty seats that we were able to take his car seat on with us so he could sit there for the flight. He loved looking out the window and was very sweet!
Wednesday Anna got up early to go to her sports camp - but the rest of the kids (except David) slept in and we mostly took it easy, recovering from the trip. Dan picked up Koopa from my parents and picked up his car from the repair shop. I mostly did laundry and got stuff put away. Thursday was once again a nice slow day.
Friday, I took the kids down to the zoo. It was hot, but otherwise a nice day for the zoo. The kids had fun checking out the animals and riding the monorail and the carousel. We let them play in the water for a little bit to cool off - but then we needed to get going home. We headed home and had an adventure of a trip - not only did we get to enjoy traffic, but then James got sick and threw up all over the back seat. twice. Evie (who was sitting next to him) was REALLY not happy. But we made it home and had a nice evening together.
Church today was wonderful. The messages and lessons were just amazing as was the musical number. We had the sister missionaries over for dinner and had a great lesson from them and a great bit of cheesecake that Eileen made last night!
