Another Wild Weekend

Grandma Lolo, would you believe we carried the camera all the way to South Florida and back and never took it out of the bag?  (She's wanting pictures.)

This was an Emma weekend.  The rest of them stayed with James and Lori.  I understand there were some toothbrush issues, but other than that, everything went well with them.

We went with the GCS chorus to Stuart, FL so they could sing.  We were "invited" to go along several months ago because they knew that Terry and I were good friends.  Deland asked us if we wanted to ride the bus with the kids.  Umm, let me think about that...no.  We ended up driving Jim Lee's truck down there with the risers in the back.  That was great for Emma.  Her carseat went in the back seat in the middle.  She could see everything and was so excited.  All the way down there she kept exclaiming: "There's the bus!  Follow the bus!"  She also thought it was great when Stacy would recline her seat.  She kept pinching Stacy on the shoulder with her toes, then emitting the most evil little laugh.  And, come to think about it, she spent a lot of time in conversation with her toes on the way.  Hmmm.  Perhaps the evil little laugh came from the toes?

We got to Stuart and even though she (probably; with kids, who knows?) did not remember Britt Hunter, they took off together, and the two of them had a wonderful time.  We spent the night with Terry and Teri.  Emma loved their dog Chloe.  After church she kept asking if we could go back to Teri's house.  Teri knows how to spoil two-year olds.

On the way home, after the bus broke down, Jim decided he wanted to drive his own truck home from Lake City (can you believe the nerve of that guy?).  Emma thought that was great, too.  I'm pretty sure Jim knows how to spoil two-year olds, as well.  Anyway, we did have some issues with that, because for some reason, she insisted on calling him "Jim" as opposed to "Mr. Jim."  I don't know what was up with that.

It was a great trip, but we were all a little bit tuckered yesterday.  Hopefully, today we can begin to bounce back.
