Glad to be back home and DOZ update

General
For those not in the know, I spent the greater part of a week on a road trip to and from Florida for my brother's wedding with my parents, grandfather, and Zoey. The wedding was an oceanside wedding and was really beautiful at sunset.
Zoey however didn't have the patience for it and wanted to explore, getting fussy when I wouldn't let her and got even worse at the reception. She didn't like the idea of someone holding her back when on one side of the reception was a pool and the opposite side was a channel for sailboats/small ships to pass through to the lake on the other side. Zoey is too curious for her own good and I couldn't let her explore with so many dangers around.
The trip however, she was really good. She was kept entertained by my dad and grandpa and at other times through a rented SUV with a DVD player so she could watch some Minnie Mouse or Blues Clues.
Got my dad pissed at me through the trip. On the way back, we stopped at a gas station to fill up and we didn't know he slipped out of the SUV to get himself something to snack on and we drove off. My grandpa chimed in after we got on the road for a couple of minutes and said jokingly,"So I guess we ARE leaving Ben in Georgia". At that point I slammed on the brakes after my mom and I screamed "WHAT!" (with Zoey laughing at us along with grandpa when he did it) at the same time and turned around. My dad was so pissed at us, even more so when my grandpa started running his mouth talking trash and Zoey laughing. He calmed down soon enough though when we treated him to a steakhouse lunch in SC. I swear he and Grey are the two quietest guys I've ever met that could sneak out of anywhere and not be noticed until it is too late.
Overall it was a great trip! Glad I could see my older brother FINALLY get married. He is a really sweet guy and deserves it so much. Love my new sister too :D (refuses to say sister-in-law.. way too impersonal).
I have the next part of Day of Zoey sketched out, just haven't had time to really work on it. Plan on doing so this weekend sometime if Zoey allows me to. She is just getting into so much I have to watch her like a hawk.. especially since she wants to pull up some carpet and do what toddlers do best... put it in their mouths.
