We are back from Florida. It really feels like home here now and even more so after a long trip. The trip was uneventful, the girls started voicing their dislike of road trips about an hour and a half out of Columbia but they did well overall. It's amazing what you find yourself doing just to keep your kids happy, an example being driving down the interstate and making motor boat sounds (also known as raspberries) for miles on end. Everyone got to bed a little late, the girls got to see their first fireworks courtesy of our across the street neighbor who spent more than we could ever imagine on a nice fireworks show (fireworks of all kinds are legal here). Now we get to pick up all the pieces of it in our front yard. I guess its the price you pay for a free show. I was half wondering the whole time he was shooting them off if one of us should be in the front yard armed with a water hose just in case. Everything is still standing today though with no signs of damage. Now begins the laundry and cleaning to get back into the routine of being home, that and a big trip to Wally world to restock the fridge.
