While the boys were dead tired from the very long journey (complete with a 6 hour stop-over in Houston) they were excited to be back home. Arriving home, they dogs saw them and went ballistic. Max and Coco both cried like the nutty and insane dogs they are.
Once we got in the door, the suitcases got plunked on the living room floor and they started showing us all their cool souveniers. Joshua bought lots of great momentos and even a little something for me. A tea light that says "Gillian". That is something that could ONLY be found in England. So pleased that he got that for me.
David came home with the largest bar of chocolate I have ever seen. It's going to take him a month to eat it. He said that he will go through his bags and show us his souveneirs today.
By 2:30 am, Devon and I were exhausted. Both Joshua and David declared that they were too awake to go to bed. We insisted they at least give it a try... even if it meant just laying down for a few hours in their room with a book to read. I think that once they crawled into their beds... they were fine.
Joshua has already surfaced and is on his computer. No surprise there. But he at least came down and said "Good Morning" before disappearing for the day. David is still asleep. I am not planning to wake him any time soon.
All in all... it looks like they had a great trip. They said that the people were great, they loved their host families, British scouts and leaders, and all the interesting people they met on their trip. However, at the end of the day, it's so nice to come home!
