Are we crazy?

One week from tomorrow Amber and I will be leaving for Texas with 5 kids in tow. That's right 5 kids. This should be interesting with an 8 month old, two year old, 5 year old, and two teenagers. James will be batching it for a week. After our trip to Thailand for 17 days he can not afford to take any more time off. I will be staying with my parents when we get there. Mimi and Papa are pretty excited. We will see if they still feel that way when Noah leaves. He is so much fun and a good little boy but he sure is active. I am excited for them to see him again. I am also excited for Kayla to have time with them too. We have several fun things planned. The two big kids get to pick a "BIG" activity and we are planning trips to the zoo, Alamo etc. The bummer part of this trip is not having James there. We are not use to doing things separately but this was the only way I could get down to see my parents this summer. I am not looking forward to such a long drive but it beats the drive we made to Colorado last summer. I am not the worlds best traveler but I think it will be worth it. I am hoping that the trip will be kinda of relaxing. Either way I am sure that we will have lots of fun stories to share.
