Annual Summer Trip to New Jersey

We've waiting all summer and it's finally here!!!  We leave in the morning for our trip to New Jersey.  We've come every summer since Peter was born and we always have so much fun!  We are very lucky this time to have Andrew coming with us for part of the trip.  He'll fly up there with us, stay a week, and then come home to go back to work while we stay for another week.  The kids are excited to be able to go to the beach and NYC with Daddy, and I'm excited to have help on the plane.  :)

Homer will be staying at the vet's office while we are gone.  We took him up there tonight. 

                                                                                                                                  
Peter was very proud to be able to walk Homer in all by himself.  Once they took him back, though, Danielle wasn't so sure.  She almost started crying because I don't think she understood that Homer would come home when we got home.  Peter was ok with the whole thing, though, because he said he would get to see Daisy (Aunt Kim's dog) in New Jersey.  To cheer Danielle up after dropping Homer off, we went to have snowcones. 

The crazy thing is that it's 10pm and I'm all packed.  Laundry is done, everything is packed, and we're all ready to go.  I'm normally up super late on nights before we leave trying to get everything washed and packed.  Not this year.  I took care of a little each day all this week and we're ready!!  Goodbye Texas - Hello New Jersey!!!
