After a fun filled, perfect weather, no lines day at Knott's Berry Farm we headed back to LAX for a 11 pm direct flight to back to Sydney. We had a whole lot of stuff. I had one 18 gallon tub chuck full of FOOD! I went wild at Wal-mart. Cereal, marshmallows, graham crackers, kool aid, candy like no body's business....food, food, food. I went to my favorite craft stores in the states and got some things that I can't find here at all. And then of course clothes...much cheaper and a huge selection in the US. Anyway, so we gathered all of our goods and headed to the check in counter with 5 million people gawking at us as we walked by.
We have really loved living in Sydney, but we don't like being so far away from our families. I hate the good bye part, the part when you don't know when you are going to see your family again. It's sad, but I am grateful for modern technology...Internet, phones and skype are life savers. It connects you.
The kids didn't want to say goodbye.
Our flight went well. The kids slept, some more than others, but they slept. I think I slept a total of 15 minutes. I had a row with Lucy and Jack and a young guy. I laid Lucy down on the chair flat and every hour she would wake up and punch the guy next to us, waking him up and scaring the heck out of him. He was a good sport, but she honestly hot him at least 10 times. I had about an inch of my seat because if I had Lucy laying flat then she stayed asleep so she pretty much hogged my seat, but it was worth it to have her sleeping. LOOOOOng flight but we made it home at 6:30 am.
Customs kiffed a few of my things which was a bummer..boo, oh well.
Our friend Wes picked us up at the airport which was super nice of him. He had to bring his trailer to get us and all of our mounds of stuff home. I was bobbing my head the whole way home...JET LAG in a major way.
The Prepchuk kids were so cute and made little cards for our kids.
Amanda makes incredible cookies...no joke, they are divine! We ate this plate for breakfast!
Back to Australia and back to these nasty creatures. Nope, didn't miss them one bit!
Just a quick thanks to everyone that made our trip so great! Thanks to our parents for all that they did for us! Our families were so fun! Thanks to friends. We saw a lot of people. We are sad we didn't get to see everyone....next visit! We loved our 7 weeks, it was hard to leave but we have a billion pictures we can look at to remember all the fun.

Sad, I hate goodbyes too! I love that you had a whole tub just for food. :) We only brought peanut butter, and now there are a few more things I'm wishing we'd brought! And there are a few things here that I'm thinking of trying to take with me when we go home. Have you noticed that pancakes/waffles are more delicious here?
