We left Eureka Springs sometime after noon and headed back to Springfield. I can’t remember if we picked the kids up from the grandparents, or if they brought them into town for us. Whatever, we ended up taking the kids to Cicis for our first family dinner out in Springfield.

I have a suspicion that that is Alek’s head in the booth behind us, but fifteen years on, I cannot remember.
