boomerang trip.

 
So..we came, we saw, we played, and then we needed to go back home.
While we were at Sea World Cody called us and let us know Craig's Dad, Perk had passed away. We were planning on driving back with Mon Bon in a week but it just felt like we needed to go. It was hard to leave. 
Nan, Pops, Letti and Paisley (above) were leaving on Thursday so we caravaned with them. The kids were amazingly good. In fact they were exceptionally good the whole week. I think H.F. was helping so the adults could deal with some tender moments. 
Cody had worked for Perk when he lived in TX a long time ago, and had only nice things to say about him. I had only eaten dinner with him a handful times, but Craig is one of the best guys I know so, Perk is special. We went to his memorial Service on Monday at The Cowboy Church. It was a nice memorial, of course we were all just hurting for the Carmack family. Thank goodness for the knowledge that we can be together again.
