Are we still talking about this?

Just to finish up this endless summer vacation report (and I better get an A!)

Event # whatever comes next:
Our dear Maymay and her little family joined the Whiting crew and the party began again!

Maymay and Gwampa
(Random side note here, since we've been home from the trip,
 Pencil talks about Gwampa whenever he sees handicapped parking symbols.
 Weird? yes. Often? also yes. So yeah.)

Uncle dzjewud! (I struggle to phonetically spell the way my boys say that "j" sound) I had to post his model pose that helped me get my light meter right. He came with us to Cherry Hill (a water park) and my kids had so much fun! Both Sock and Grapes said that day was the high light of the trip. So, thanks to Gwampa and Gwamma dzjen for making that happen, and thanks to dzjawud for coming too!

A family trip to the temple. The Doctor's youngest sister stayed with the grandkids.
 And Amanda's husby was in California for work. (We missed him dearly.)

And this baby- are you seeing him?

But, really, he is just SO cute.

Sadly, shortly after the F family arrived we had to make our exit. School and work loomed and Clifford was begging for a real drive to fully integrate into our family. Who were we to refuse?

We stopped a few times to stretch our legs and enjoy the views. And now, finally, we are home.
