Goodbye, Holiday!

Today was a sad, sad day.  Today is the day we left Ireland and came home.  :(

When we got up, B and I took LG down the road to say goodbye to the animals.

Then we took a picture with our friends, and we piled in the car for the long trip to the airport.  Once again, LG enjoyed making animal noises to all the animals we passed.

When we arrived at the airport, we said our goodbyes and then stood in the forever line to check-in.  After we passed through the check-in and security, we were then charged an airport improvement fee!  Highway robbery!  When we finally got to settle down and find a seat to wait to board, LG started talking to herself.  She raised her pointer finger, and with a look that would make anyone ashamed, she said, "No!  No, no, no!"  The lady sitting across from us asked, "Is this her first word?"  I couldn't believe LG did this!  I've never seen her do this before.  I wonder where she learned it?  Something she did learn on holiday was the word, "Hi!" and how to roll her arms like you do for patty cake.  D taught her these two things.

When we finally boarded the plane, LG fell asleep just like last time.  We had a long drive from the airport home, but it sure is nice to come home to a very clean house.  Our house guests who were staying here in our absence left it spotless.  They actually left in quite a rush because they all came down with a stomach bug.  Here's hoping that all their cleaning destroyed any residual bug!
