Whew. Need a vaction from our vacation!!

We just got back from vacation!  We left July 16th and just walked in the door minutes ago. It was awesome!!  But it is nice to be home and able to relax.   My online classes end next Friday and then I have 2 weeks off before Fall semester starts.  I think the 3 older kids go back to school the 23rd.  Cody is excited because when he turns 3 in November, he will be able to start school with the big kids!!  I can't wait.  4 in school!!  Granted Cody and Jacob will only be in school for 3 1/2 hours Mon-Thurs but still. 

We had the greatest trip and I can not believe how wonderful ALL the kids were in the car!  We drove 2 days to get to CA and 3 days to get home.  I think it is funny that I brought a bunch of educational toys, like a deck of cards that had info on the 50 states, that I thought the kids would be all into but they didn't get touched.  Blake spent the drive drawing in his sketch book.  Kayla helped with the younger kids and slept a lot.  I am also surprised about how much each of them slept.  Well except for Cody.  He didn't want to sleep and was a little whinny. Yesterday he was crying so I asked him why he was crying and he said "Me no know" A sure sign that he is tired.  Luckily he succumbed a few minutes later and took a 3 hour, much needed nap!!

This trip was definitely worth the 30+ hour drive and we will most likely be making it again next summer but I am in no rush for Summer to come!!  LOL

Being in San Diego made us realize how much we miss it and our family!!  As soon as I finish school, I think we will try to move back or at least move closer to the West Coast!!
