We’re home early this week because Brady had an important doctors appointment today. However, the cold that hit out home a week ago refuses to quit, and Brady is coughing fairly consistently. If he speaks, he coughs. Its awful :/ So we decided this morning to cancel his appointment, go home early anyway, and be restful.
We had smores for breakfast, as we do, and then we loaded up.
I won’t lie. It was not smooth. It was a day where, if gas wasn’t so expensive, I would’ve put the AC pumping in the van and just let the kids sit in the van and stare while we packed the back up. It was actually an incredibly challenging weekend, what with kids coughing in the night and no one sleeping well. Some kids tried harder than others, for sure. But, regardless of the details, we got the camper packed up, floor and deck swept, dishes done, firewood and water jugs refilled, tanks emptied, and breakers shut off. We did it all. Then there were pee breaks, and we hit the road.
It was a quiet ride home. We listened to music and didn’t talk. It was more peaceful than angst, I promise. Once we got home, some kids went inside for naps and some helped unload the van and put stuff away. What a relief it is to have kids old enough where the teamwork actually makes things go quicker.
There were a lot of beautiful times this weekend, but I do look forward to letting it go into the past and moving forward, being healthier, and doing WAY better next weekend!
Hopefully Dekker is in good health and enjoying his life at camp!
