The Long Ride Home....

Tate had gone to Grandma and Grandpa's farm the preceding Wednesday, then to Lanigan for the weekend, all without Mommy and Daddy. Chryslyn and I were charged with the duty of returning him home to Medicine Hat on the Monday following the weekend. He was a real trooper in the van and was excited about the trip home. And Chryslyn and I were excited about the headphones and DVD player for Tate.


After a couple of hours on the road, Tate fell asleep.


As did Chryslyn...



As did Tavis...


Once we entered Medicine Hat, Tate broke into a huge smile as he started to recognize his neighbourhood and realize that we were almost there.


Once at the door, we left him on the steps by himself for when Wendy answered. Their reunion was very cute and heartwarming. Lots of hugs from Tate, and eventually the question, "Why are you crying, Mommy?"
