End of holiday

From http://ianrstewart.blogspot.com/

It's our last day in GP before we head home tomorrow (Sunday) - and it's been a hot one - unusually, the only time this year the temperature has been in triple digits. Most of the time it's been low 90's, which is fine by me. When it gets to 105 F, as it did today, it's difficult to do much.

Thursday was the day we took the boys down to the Family Fun Center (sic). We shopped for Moose Munch at Harry and David's for 10 minutes beforehand but then managed to spend 3 hours - triple what we'd planned - at the FFC. Go-karts, crazy golf and squirty boats were followed by nachos then some indoor games for the boys:


Friday, of course, was the big birthday party. A few of Cade's friends came over for a sleep-over and Scott's parents, sister Laramie, her husband Vic and 2 lovely young boys, Davis and Lincoln, all joined in.

Today (Saturday), once Cade's pals were gone, we drove down to lovely Ashland and, as usual, had lunch in the Standing Stones brewpub followed by a lovely shady walk through Lithia park, where we all cooled down in the stream:


Of course, we also had to take the obligatory family photo at the front of the house before we headed home:


So that's it for another year. We've already put in our requests for resorts for next summer, but it looks as if we might have both our girls back in Scotland for Christmas 2013 - that would be lovely.
