We finally crawled in to bed this morning around 1:30am (3:30am our time). We spent the day hanging out with Sherman and Missy and kids in the pool and then went out and stuffed our faces for lunch. I had the best piece of German Chocolate Cake I've ever tasted in my life! It was so hard to leave them after only a few hours. One day is NOT ENOUGH. All I know is that it's an extraordinary thing to have friends that you can entirely be yourself with, and be able to pick right up where you've left off when you've been apart for a while. They're not friends really anyway...they're family. Like the knucklhead I am I didn't even snap a single picture! I'm still shaking my head over that. The boys have gotten so big, and holding baby Micah soothed a few sore spots in my heart. I haven't held a baby that little since Kail was born. Sigh.
The drive across the desert to Santa Clarita was everything I imagined it to be. We got halfway across and finally found a place to stop and GET SOMETHING TO DRINK! We're definately not used to no humidity and all of us were like fish laying in the mud sucking as hard as we could for something WET! Kail was enthralled with the desert mountains, Erika barely looked up from her book long enough to see the vast expanse of nothing, and Jackson was Jackson.
Santa Clarita has ended up being a beautiful spot. Unfortunately we got in too late to visit with Becky and family this evening. Pretty disappointed about that but I seem to be pretty good at disappointing everybody, so why stop now? Tommorrow morning we're getting up early and going to Ventura to the Pacific Ocean, then the kids will have been to both the Atlantic and Pacific. I think I'm nearly as excited as they are!
