I lied.

Almost immediately after posting last night, I unearthed the few pictures I had on my camera from our last couple days in Virginia.   


A final farewell at the park with families from K's work. Plenty of children to go around!

 This is what our garage looked like with all the boxes ready for our truck.  

K pulled up in this monster of a truck and my first thoughts were, "Take it back!  It's too big!"  I may or may not have let those words slip from my lips, because he replied that it was too late and it was time to load it up.

Basically, this is what the 26 foot truck looked like inside after aforementioned boxes and junk from the entire garage were loaded.  Uh oh.

One of our church friends M stopped by to help for the afternoon, which was more of a blessing than we could have ever imagined.  The guys were able to pack up tons of heavy furniture and lots of other items we didn't intend to move ourselves, which translated to more weight, which translated to more money toward our next adoption.  We won big time.  

Two nights before we drove off, a wife of K's coworker took us for horse rides on her beautiful horses Flash and Wish.  The stables were only minutes from our hotel so we met her there one evening after family night at Chick-fil-A.  Reference the scary face paint.  Buddy was overly happy to have his face painted like Spiderman.  The unfortunate part was 90 degree heat that made his face itchy and sweaty so his face ended up looking like something from Freddy.  (...and I just dated myself because Freddy movies were out when I was like 10 years old and many of you just googled to figure out who on earth I am referring to)

Peanut chose butterfly paint.  

...and then we were off on our way to Oklahoma.  I am so glad I found a few pictures of our time with K's family!  

K's sister K with the girls:

Buddy, K, Sweet P, K, K, C, K, Peanut and K

K with his sisters K and K (notice a trend?)

K's mom got in on the water gun fight.  She was in it to win!

We had the best time with family... and they are all invited out for the holidays so we can make more memories!  (yes, that's a hint)  Blessings, angela
