Found out we were leaving the next day for vacation instead of Monday! ....Thankfully we had already packed most everything throughout the week. Pretty hectic but very fun too! The constant thought running through my mind at the time was..."I know I'm forgetting something important!" Gave our wonderful neighbor, Mr. Minor, last minute animal care instructions. Tried to use up the last two and a half gallons of milk before the next day.....(We drink fresh milk from a local farmer so it can't last a week and a half.)

Woke up at 6:00 AM.....staggered around half awake. Packed all last minute necessities and hopefully left nothing important. Got all my luggage safely in the family car.

Ok first off I really need to say that I LOVE this post! I love all the pictures (I am a picture-on-posts lover!) I love the captions and I love the whole post! Oh did I mention that I like this post? :D Wow you traveled really far! We used to have to travel when we were missionaries, to raise support, I remember traveling, wow it was quite an adventure especially with either to nine kids through all those years! I bet you know what I mean, being a big family too! :)
