Well, we are back home, safe and sound. We stayed on Grand Lake in north east OK (Monkey Island to be exact...and no, we did not see any swinging in the trees). It was just beautiful...hot, but peaceful. A nice wind off the lake seemed to cool things off a little and kept alot of the bugs away. I didn't really want to go, since we had rented the place thinking that my Mom and Dad would be coming with us. The empty bedroom was a sad reminder, but Mama always lived life to the fullest. We felt she would have wanted us to take the kids there. I had alot of quiet time for reflection on life and my loved ones and it was something that I really needed. Keeping the kids busy with new experiences seemed to have helped them cope a little too. It was bittersweet, since I could not share our fun times and silly pictures with my mom, like I have always done after a trip away. Not being able to call and tell her we are home safe...life still seems so surreal to me. I know that everyone says that time will heal...well, I guess only time will tell.
Yes, Lou saved Savannah from the big, bad croc...he only needed 10 stitches! Just kidding...
This emu kept eyeballing Lou, not sure if it wanted to kiss or kick him, though! The same goes for this alpaca!! It must be Lou's magnetic personality...I was jealous!!
Kiss me baby!
