vacation

*We have returned from a wonderful week long vacation in Colorado.  Swimming, horseback riding, hiking, eating, more eating, celebrating my aunt's engagement and overall fun. There are many fun memories, but currently I can only remember the crazy long car ride home yesterday.  Here are some highlights
-noticing our windshield has a giant crack in it
-ellakate announcing that this was the "longest trip ever" when we had been in the car for 3 1/2 minutes.
-discovering that betsy is part howler monkey. This child pretty much slept or screeched the whole day. Apparently riding in the car works up quite the appetite as she felt the need to nurse every 12 miles.
-watching everything fall out the back of the suburban while trying to dig out the scooters for a little exercise break. Note: watching your husband pick everything up while announcing "please be careful opening overhead bins, as contents may have shifted during flight" DOES NOT get a laugh.
-trying to remove a conformer from a crabby baby in the dark on the side of the road is not an easy task.
-we did finally make it home and now i have the task of washing, unpacking, and overall cleanup today...i think i might wait until tomorrow. 
*I did take tons of pictures, but they will be for another day...when i can actually locate the camera again. For now here's a glimpse of my "tigers" thank goodness for washable markers!

  1. I have to disagree with this statement - watching your husband pick everything up while announcing "please be careful opening overhead bins, as contents may have shifted during flight" DOES NOT get a laugh. I laughed like crazy!!! - Danielle (Boese)
