Our Home Away from Home This Summer

Adam got a second interview in Quincy so time for a road trip!

Krispy Kreme does a special treat for kids' report cards. So as we started our road trip, we stopped at Krispy Kreme with Kaylyn's report card - 6 free donuts! The hot sign was flashing was we arrived so we each also got a free HOT glazed donut. Personally, I didn't think there was anything special about Krispy Kreme - until I'd had one fresh off the glazer. YUMMY!

The girls agreed. It was delicious! And now they believe every road trip starts with a stop at Krispy Kreme. I don't mind :)

Because we were only an hour away from Adam's parents, after the interview, we drove over and checked in at the hotel there. The hotel was our home away from home this summer with 3 trips there - this was trip #2. We actually had two home away from homes - the hotel and our van :)

We took over the hotel lobby to play pool and yahtzee. Adam thinks he's a decent pool player because he can calculate the angles. He does great - against me. But he'd probably not do so well against an actual decent player. But it's fun and that's the important part.

Zeb had not played before so Adam and Zeb played together most of the night.

Grandma and Uncle Alma are avid Yahtzee players, and Zeb usually is too. Kaylyn has played before with them. Morgan HAD to play too this time. Kaylyn's actually getting pretty good. We need to print out some Yahtzee forms, gather the dice and play with her at home.

On the road trip, Morgan kept singing and singing and singing, with motions. I finally got it on video - totally adorable! If you can't understand the words, they are below the video.

Oh Mr. Sun, Sun, Mr. Golden Sun

Hiding behind the tree.

These little children are asking you.

To please come out so we can play with you.

Oh Mr. Sun, Sun, Mr. Golden Sun,

Please shine down on me.
