Ok, Ben has managed to take us down to one bathroom. We have the replacement seal now we just need to find the time, kid free to fix it. Since that involves moving the whole damn toilet, that will be interesting.

Now to continue my vacation post, it will probably be several.

Ayla napping with Grandpa.

Ben at the table. He got a lot of chocolate milk at Grandmas.

I believe somewhere there is a picture of Ben in the same chair in almost the exact same pose.

Grandma's floor. I love that little dress!

Grandma had to share with Ben.


Little ham


My dad had gotten two deer, one the day we got there and another a few days earlier, so there was the big job of processing everything. You can tell how thrilled my mother was.

You can almost see her jumping up and down with joy.

During the first couple of days was interesting. Ben, the animal lover he is, was really interested in the dog, Maggie, but she had never been around kids before so was quite nervous for a little while and we had to keep reminding him not to chase her and the he couldn't play with her like he does Simba. Ayla quickly had Grandpa wrapped around her little finger. My mother and I went shopping and found the perfect dress for Nick's Christmas party, hopefully I will remember to have Nick take a picture or two so you can see.

There are still a fair amount of pictures left and I haven't even gotten to our visit with my grandparents, so I'll have a theme for a while.
