The Rest of the FL Trip

We all woke up late on Sunday (except for Scott who delivered papers). After church, the girls had each of us take a turn telling stories. The story-teller would wear the crown and use the guitar from Chuck E. Cheese as the microphone. Here is Scott as the story-teller

Neal's turn

My turn.

We played some games after the stories. We played Doctor where Gabi, Caroline and Stella took turns curing me of my jumpy hands and wiggle lips. We did some dancing in the Kitchen. Caroline took this activity very seriously. I taught her a few dance moves (the little that I know). Her favorite was when I would twirl her out and on the way back in I would flip her. Gabi initially didn't want to flip, but after seeing Caroline and Stella do it a few times, she asked to do it. Still a little frightened, she let me flip her and loved it.

And finally the newest member of the Sunshine Six Seven, Ella. She was just about a month old when we were there.

That evening, Sandra made a delicious dinner. We all chatted that evening. It was great to get to know Sandra better and visit with Scott.

After dinner, we played apples-to-apples with Isabelle and Sandra. We also played hide-n-seek with all of the girls. Isabelle knew all of the best hiding places and never got caught.

The next morning, we got all ready to go, but then got a phone call that our flight was cancelled. I frantically found some other flights that could get us to Raleigh that evening and it all worked out. This gave us some extra time with Scott and his family. While we were waiting to leave, the girls played "Jump" on the Wii. There was only one controller, but all of them played. Isabelle would control game, but Caroline, Gabi and Stella would run and jump along with the guy on the screen. It was great.

After that, we said our good-byes and pulled out. As we were driving away all of the girls came to the door and waved good-bye.
