Day 2545. Sammy had been asking me to sleep in a bed with him for days, so when I finally went to bed at 1:30 am, I carried Tammy over to Randy and lay down between the boys. He was definitely not used to being next to me so it was a little rough at times, and as he's the first one up in the morning, I was the second one up being right next to him. He then got up, followed by Emmy. I then lay down next to Tammy. At 8 am I let Randy know what time it was, and he got up and took the kids to breakfast. I already knew that they had little to offer for breakfast and had the food I needed in the room, so there was no need for me to go to the breakfast room. Instead I got more sleep. It was about 9:30 when Randy let me know what time it was, and I got up and started packing. Then Randy took the luggage to the car, while I was eating my breakfast in the room. Then we checked out.
At 10:30 we continued our trip to Wichita; we had 5 more hours of driving time. Just before 1 pm we stopped at a Chick-Fil-A with playground in Tulsa. The kids went to the playground to play right away, then the food came out. They ate some and returned to the playground. Sammy didn't even want to eat; he just wanted to play. They had a "back to school" sign and balloons, and the kids wanted to have a picture taken that I could send to their teacher.
At 2 pm we continued our journey with 3+ more hours to go. Just before 5:30 pm we arrived in Eastern Wichita at our friends' house. It was great to see them again. The kids started playing right away as they had toys waiting for them. But Emmy had been waiting to play Hide & Seek with the Dad, and so they did. After a while their triplet grandkids arrived, and all the kids had lots of fun with them. We had some dinner as well.
Just before 8 pm they left, and it was bedtime for our kids. After fun time in the bathtub, they got ready for bed. We read a book, I prayed for them, and they went to bed. Then I turned my computer on and started working. My goal is to go to bed at midnight tonight.
