Back home...

... in Wauconda after the 700+ mile drive from Fayetteville. In the 3 months I was in Florida and Arkansas, we mountain biked over 500 miles, kayaked or canoed 75 miles, hiked 100+ miles, and shoveled NO snow! M&M made the long 11 hour drive okay -- not pleased with the van's motion or the road noise, but quiet and docile, mostly in my lap where she apparently felt safest. Upon arriving home, she immediately checked out all her favorite places and toys and was obviously happy to be home again.
