Off we go!

On the water

Well, tomorrow is the big day!  After a long couple of weeks we are finally ready to get on the plane tomorrow!

Yesterday we were going to take the kids for one last hurrah at the water park, but it was closed for the start of school.  Instead, we took them to Wahooz, which most of you know is an amusement park of sorts.  They have small go-karts the kids can drive, bumper boats, mini golf and an arcade.  We went there in the morning and stayed until dinner time.  My parents came around three o'clock to hang out with the kids while Hilary and I signed papers on the house.  We are glad that is done!

Today we ran a bunch of errands got packed up (again) and spent our last hour or so with the family and had a few teary goodbyes...
I didn't get a chance to say it at the time, but we have been so blessed and lucky to have so much great family living so close!  It was always a dream of mine to have our kids grow up with Grandmas and Grandpas, Aunts, Uncles and Cousins all close together.  We will miss everyone - I think in ways we haven't yet fully realized...  It is a bitter sweet time for us; excited for our new adventures and sad to leave so many great family members and friends.
