We took off Wednesday morning and took 2 days to travel the 21 hours home. We made a stop in Kirtland again; this time to see the temple, which I hadn't seen inside before. Emma and I went on the tour and Kenneth hung around on the grounds with the other three kids. It is a very special building and I enjoyed the tour. Wednesday night we stayed with friends from our ward in New York, who had since moved to near Cincinnati, Ohio. It was so nice to see them! Kenneth also got to see some other friends who live in the same area that he knew from his childhood. It was great!

 |
| Hooray! They all zonked out at the same time in the afternoon. It felt like Kenneth and I were on a date or something! |

 |
| The kids really enjoyed this! |
 |
| The kids especially loved the dog, Buddy |
 |
| They wanted to take him home! |
 |
| Here's Kenneth and the girls with Rick; his wife had already gone to work that morning, but it was so good to see Julie, too! |
Kate, and the rest of the children for that matter, ate almost the entire way home the last day. I stopped at Aldi in the morning before we left Cincinnati and got a bunch of great, fresh produce to eat on the way home. I rinsed it all off before we got started and they ate all day! The kids were loving it!

| Here is Kate eating an apple and a sugar snap pea. |
 |
| Poor guy! He's so bored, he's tied himself to the van with a snake! |
The end!
It's always good to be home! We're thankful to have good neighbors who took care of the chickens for us!
