Home again, home again

We got back into Detroit at 9:15pm last night. Upon getting home we found out that we had a small gas leak in the house which had gone unnoticed until now since the furnace has been running all winter and we shut it off for the week we were gone. We got it fixed; it was a minor thing that the contractors had screwed up when they did the work on the house. We also had crazy felines who had been confined to the basement while we were gone, so that was fun.

Of course Lincoln slept nearly the entire way back, which we hadn't planned for, and so we were up with him until about 1:30am. He slept in this morning and now we need to get him back into a Michigan schedule.

There are more new pictures going up in the California album tonight so check them out. It is mostly just the finish of the trip and some weird stuff we saw from the plane. The weird circles on the ground as we passed over Oklahoma are caused from the irrigation system they use. Apparently the sprinkler pivots from a point in the center of the field and moves around in a circle. Pretty crazy when you first see them, but once you get the explanation it is logical enough.
