Vacation recap

We survived our week vacation and were gone from the 23rd to the 30th. That is:

• 7 nights away from home with a 11 month old who doesn't like to sleep


• about 100 diapers or so


• 1420 miles on the Expedition


• 2 bags of puff-corn consumed during those miles by the small people!


• 2 new teeth popped by Cooper


• 8 million--not really but it seemed like it--the number of hours Paige logged in the pool


• 6 hours spent at the wonderful Minnesota Zoo


• 4 minutes--the estimated time of the roller coaster Paige and I went on--we both screamed and loved it


• 1 pair of newly pierced ears


• countless--giggles, smiles and hours of fun

Thanks to Crystal and Aunt Wanda for hosting us at the travel stops in Fargo and thanks to Aunt Mary and Steve for letting us invade them for 5 days--we had so much fun and can't wait to see you all again soon.

Pictures to follow; but need to have some time to go through the 300 I took to see which are worthy!
