I'm SO thrilled about this. I hope it is the start of a list of published books.

Fourth of July Family Reunion
It was an adventure to say the least. To start with we missed our plane, but managed to get another flight... the next day... at an airport over an hour away from the one we were currently at. If we went home we would have to leave by four am-ish to make sure we didn't miss the new flight. I came up with the idea to go to San Francisco and visit the Exploratorium with the boys and then waste a bunch of time possibly with friends in that area, crash at the airport and not miss the new flight.
Everyone was good with the plan. Neither Dragon, his sister or the boys had ever been to the Exploratorium before and they have a ball. I got to zip around in a wheel chair (still have the cast). All is all that went over very well. Of course since the Exploratorium is the best place on earth I wasn't surprised about that. unfortunately we couldn't hook up with any of our friends, but still managed to waste a bunch of time and have fun just hanging out before finally heading to the airport.
The flights went well. Bear and wolf not only survived them, but loved them, although the final flight home made Bear have a tantrum over his ears not popping. However once we got to Amarillo my patience finally ran out when faced with a rental van coated in sticky kid prints (not mine), an infant seat (Bear is three) and then a broken car seat and booster seat. Trying to install them the van decided to bite a huge chunk out of the knee of my working leg just to top things off. We won't even get into the incompetence of the people at the McDonald's we stopped at... As I said my patience was gone by then.
Other than that the trip was great. It was wonderful to see all of Dragon's family and the boys had a ball with their cousins. The country is gorgeous. we saw the fourth biggest electric generating windmill. The food was amazing and "safe and sane" didn't even come close to describing the fireworks we set off. Mortars, M180's, bottle rockets, you name it we had it in spades.
Casts and airplanes don't mix. That caused quite a bit of pain, but I survived it and overall the trip was a success, even with the set backs.
