Life Adventures for Miles

So we had a fun but exhausting day full of dogs, I'm a shark, mama sharks, Papa sharks, and active baby sharks of all ages! Luna hit it off with her cousins fairly well even with all the drama fuss of a four-year-old! First, we had the bagels for breakfast (that luna found uninteresting) than bright early of 9am hit and we were mingling with some family! Barbie playing, stone soup/stew (that was also luna paint for the house) was made to feed the plants, gift wrapping, last-minute supplies, picture drawing, drone flying, food making, light sighting walks, tree decorating, family catch up, and with the grand finish of unwrapping Santa presents, all in the name of the Christkind! 

Today we made it home for the holidays! While it wasn't too bad of a drive, I think by this day, we were all done with the road trip and the vehicle driving long hours...which means while the further west we went, the happier we became (at least some of us), we also pushed harder to finish, so stops were short and to the point...and no lingering at the toy section. We made it to AZ in good time to be here for dinner (pizza at the BJ's restaurant) and even got to see some family with it. Also, we did a Walmart supply run which was fun (ish), I even ran into an old classmate there. Yay for pants!

Today was blue skies (well no rain at least) and another quickish zip through the states. No one slept as well as they could have (beds were comfy enough to hang out in but sleep was...harder to do) so we were very much done with the day before it even really began. Slow service at food places, "stupid" drivers and traffic, as well as, an active 4 year old, already over driving road trips, stuck in a vehicle was also just the topper to our crud cake of the day. Due to all this, after dinner instead of hoteling it and getting some downtime with our shuteye, we push on until the driver (my husband) could get the normal full nights rest without waiting the day (a good solid 8 hours) and the luna snoozed and the me dozed while he did so. The chicken liver I had for dinner smokestack restaurant ) was pretty good and everyone else was happy with their food too.
