Last day in Longmeadow

So Our last day was quite crazy.. After getting the truck packed we headed to Hu Ke Lau for the party platter lunch, to thank all our friends for helping us pack and keep the kids out of our hair. Nice lunch, 7 adults 7 kids. The turtles in there can be dangerous, all the kids were over looking at the new baby turtle and one of the youngest ones pokes her head through the railing to see, and proceeds to get her head stuck! all the adults come running to the scene and the baby is crying and we are trying to pry her head out. apparently it is more narrow at the top than the bottom, baby was freed and all was well...... THEN.... later in the afternoon we are all swimming at a friends house 9 kids 4 adults, fun is being had by all. Sydney decides she is done and takes off the swimmies, gets in a towel and is done, so we think. talking with the other adults, J on my lap cuddling, we realize Sydney is in the middle of all the kids with no swimmies, I drop J on his ass on the pool deck, Rebecca is already on her way into the water(fully clothed) and scoops Sydney out of the water. Total drama ensues, many minutes pass... all is well again.
Had a great Champagne toast in front of the house tonight for one last time, just before the thunder came. Our neighbors made a great slide show of our kids over the last 5 years, going to miss them, THEY ROCK, thanks Marc and Rebecca. :-(
Well that is it until we reach Oklahoma!
