And the gear pile continues to grow...

We have the R.V. It's way bigger than I pictured, and currently taking up half the width of our street, outside. The kids have been playing around in it, choosing which bed they want to sleep in and exploring all the little cupboards. Three out of four of them can't say the letter 'v'...so instead we are headed out on an 'R.B.' trip. It will be interesting to see if they will be all grown-up by the time we get back and able to say it properly. We went on our first family R.V. ride yesterday and they were all loving it. That must feel like some insane freedom after being strapped down in car seats all your life. Seeing all 3 of the big kids sitting at the 'kitchen table' with seat belts on, giddy smiles on their faces; I caught Andy's eye in the rear-view mirror and saw the same giddy smile on his face, too. This is going to be fun.
