Sunday: we're home

11.75 hours, 5 reststops, 3 detours, and 1 expired passport and we made it home. It turns out that passports can be expired until next summer and still get you through the Canadian border. But how am I supposed to remember to renew mine in 2017 now?

Flurry woke us up several times throughout the night to be petted. If I wasn't asleep it would have been super-cute, as it was it was just cute.

Friday: more relaxing

I got a hold of the label maker early in the morning.
It was a bit rainy today, so we got out a puzzle, and finished it too. :)
During one of the sunny moments we took a boat ride.

And at the end of the day after dinner (I had rabbit for the first time) we went for a quick tube trip. I got thrown in after staying relatively dry on the tube. *sigh*

Thursday

The whole family enjoyed Rock Band in the morning.

Wednesday: boat ride

Today was a pretty relaxing day. We played with the kids, ate, napped, read, watched TV.

Here is Ashlyn buried in pillows.


Here I am driving the boat to lunch.

Tuesday: Happy birthday Amanda

It's my birthday today. :) I saw my dad in the morning and then Ben and I went up to Charlevouix to see Ben's family.

Ben got me a WiiFit. I'm pretty excited about it, although it just told me that my fit age is 36. :(

Here are Ben and I with my birthday ice cream.
And here is Ben teaching Jacob about the paino.

Monday: peach pie.

Oh let's see. Today Nathan and Liz left. :( I'm glad they were able to come up though.

Then we went to see Travis and Allison's almost-new house which looks very nice.

Then we had peach pie -birthday cake at home. It was really good.
