Leaving Opal

We left Opal after I took da kids on a mini-adventure to the "old injun fort". I fought off Drew and Mav in stick-fencing..... At lunch, I made Mav drink a mustard-cream-salt-pepper-jam mix and Sara taught the kids a nice song for the drive home that started with "Are we there yet, are we there yet? Takes so long...." It went over quite well. Good times. The drive was full of talks with dad about ECMO and then some good hot-tubbing. The wind-chill froze my hair solid and quickly made it warm-tubbing.
