home again!

We went to Indiana to visit with family last week. Tuesday evening, we were out the door after the hubby came back from work and arrived Wednesday afternoon at the in-laws. There was a big 4th of July party with all the cousins there, and then on Friday we tootled down to visit with my folks at Wilderstead, which is their backwoods property. You can find pictures of all of us playing in the woods over here: http://aefenglommung.livejournal.com/1220216.html

Saturday afternoon, it was up to my folks' regular house, then church on Sunday. Younger cub was baptized and is now officially part of the Church family.

We tried to get straight home after church on Sunday, but the younger cub is not a good traveler, it seems. After five hours of driving (more than that on the road), he just could not be cajoled into any more driving time without full on panic and screaming, so we got a hotel. Fortunately, we had thought ahead and the hubby had taken Monday off just for the extra defrag time, so it didn't wreck any plans.

I've had plenty of time to observe, and it seems the younger cub doesn't like higher speeds. The faster we'd be going, the harder it was to keep him calm. It makes me think there may be some motion sickness or something similar going on there. I hope he grows out of it. If not, at least in a few more months we can get him a forward facing seat and that'll make it easier on him.

We are all very glad to be home, indeed!
