THEY ARE OFF!!!!!!

I got to Kim and Darren's shortly before 8:00a.m. to say good-bye and take some pictures. They were finishing up breakfast and starting to load the car. Blake and Darren were mowing the yard and Kim was getting food together. Nora, Ben and Bree were helping to carry things to the car. All were very excited----me too, for them!!! The car got packed---VERY PACKED---and they left home at 9:00a.m.

Last night they were looking on the computer at Krzysztof's family tree when there was a knock on the door at 11:30p.m.---and "lo and behold"---their front yard had been T.P.'D (toilet papered)

Toilet paper all over---NORA HAD NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING!!!! Of course, being the teenager in the house they knew it was Blake's friends--and Blake spent some time cleaning it up!! They blamed it on Nora being here!!!!

Just as they were leaving the person that is taking care of the house arrived for some last minute instructions.

They are now off for some exciting adventures----starting with Canada - Niagra Falls - Syracuse, N.Y. - New York City - Boston - Philadelphia---and many more interesting places.

Blake will be taking over the blog for the next two weeks---so I will be just as anxious to read it each evening after their daily ADVENTURES!!

Til next time.....
