Vacation: Part 1

We're back! It's amazing how wonderful your own bed feels after being away. Ah...especially after 24 nights that were in the tent on a "luxury" camp mattress. Yeah, right! Anyway, this is the first of several installments of our trip to MN, our bike trip, and then back to MN for a wedding.

M loves to swing!  We're beginning to see her frustration with not being able to express herself with words quite yet when we try to leave a playground.  Her feet stomp and her hands clench. 

My grandpa was in the hospital while we were there.  I'm glad we got to see him and Emily.

M with her great grandpa!

Hugs for great grandpa!

M is in such a hurry to grow up.  Of course she wanted to eat her pancakes at the table instead of in her high chair. 

We hit up the awesome playground in St. Pete a few times while we were there.

Here's J getting warmed up for all the fun he'll have playing in the sand on our OR coast trip.

I love the face she's making in this picture.

All tuckered out!
