Vacation Over... It's Back To The Daily Grind

We're back home tonight; the kids are worn out; it's back to school tomorrow. They went to bed early tonight and I'm expecting to have to wake them in the morning. Both are exhausted.

This morning while we were packing up, Caboose got a hold of Priya's "specialist" toy horse. It wasn't a good outcome for the plastic fur-coated little guy.



When Sanjay shared the news with Priya, she wanted to know "Was it the one whose leg goes like this? Was it Triple Crown?". When Sanjay assured her it wasn't that one, I thought all was well. But then she had one more question... "Was it Thunder?". Sanjay said, "Yes" and that's when the flood of tears began. She cried so hard... it was as if she were mourning the loss of an actual live horse. She told me to just throw him in the trash... she couldn't bear to see the condition that Caboose left him in. She was very angry with Caboose, even at one point threatening to call the vet and have him put down. The full week of activity and sheer tiredness just added to her emotions. It was a crazy mess, but she eventually snapped out of it.

While Bartee was downstairs catching up on the latest Tamil movie, I threw together this little video of our last couple of days in the mountains. Enjoy!
