got a nice sleep-in for the kids. when they woke, mark went for a run and the kids started to clean out the van to prepare for a bit of a drive to new york. next thing i know, i hear laughter and screams of disgust. now this is not sounds that i am unfamiliar with raising 5 children, so i was in no hurry to investigate. so it seems Noah tracked in some doggie poo from the bottom of his shoe all over the back of the van. sigh sigh. spent an hour cleaning the inside of the van. yuck!!! when mark gets back, seems he was chased for quiet awhile by a big black dog. we knew it was time to leave Ohio. got into Niagara falls at night and going to try for an early night. busy day tomorrow.
