Remember me? Anyway, we’re back from the annual trip to Grand Marais, MN. It was nice and quiet. Emmett slept the whole way up, pretty much, and was awake the whole way back, pretty much. Ava did a great job in the car both ways, thanks in large part to the Magic Treehouse audiobooks I loaded up for her prior to our departure and the bag full of art supplies Leah packed. We drove 14 hours on Sunday and made it as far as Cedar Falls before I finally gave up. Note to readers: Those Holiday Inns with the “Holidomes” with the indoor pools? Yeah. The rooms are ALWAYS super humid and the bedding damp on the main floor. That’s just how it is, and the Cedar Falls location is no exception.
I haven’t had much chance to go through the pictures and video from the trip yet, but I’m hoping Leah will cut me loose for an uploading session soon; there’s a video of Ava doing her loon call that is not to be missed. The pictures, at least, will be here when I’m done with them. Maybe a couple of the videos, too.
