It was unusual for both Joey & Annie's parents to pick them up from school. When Mom opened the car door, Annie was excited when she saw Mickey Mouse ears on her mom's head...
Actually, it was rare to see mom and dad so excited and really, they hardly ever saw dad. Annie and Joey's dad seemed to work endless hours which often left mom tired and angry. Most days Annie and Joey occupied themselves with adventures outdoors. At least the backyard was fun, which home rarely ever was. Come to think of it, for all of Joey's 4 years and Annie's 8, they never really did remember going anywhere as a family. Cloverfield was all they knew, though trips always sounded exciting. "Hop in sweatheart, we have a plane to catch," mom beamed. What Annie and Joey didn't know was that their mom and dad had been saving for years and just the right moment for this trip. If they could, they would have given them the world....

Oh, I loved this one. This is a great story, Kristy.
Kara hated going to the dentist. She had always had a fear of them, but this was the worst dental experience yet...having her wisdom teeth removed....
