home and tired

We found Allison asleep this way this morning, I guess it really was a long drive back. We stopped halfway to have a good nights sleep, but it wasn't. We got into the hotel after two sleeping children awoke screaming for the final 30 minutes of the drive. Once they got back to sleep at 11 it seemed like all was going to be okay. Oh no, at 5 am the fire alarm went off at the hotel and we quickly exited the building, the first ones out. David was still half asleep screaming about a mini-water bottle that I forgot to bring out and it was going to be burned in the fire. He didn't care that his clothes and toys were in there, only this water bottle that we could easily go buy another one of at the gas station next door. The entire time we were waiting outside this is all we heard about. Allison sat chattering about the fire trucks and fireman. We did get back to sleep for a little bit before we finished the journey home.
We are glad to be home.
