In a Field of Hay

Just a few pictures from a photo shoot in a field of hay while we were in the U.P.

 

Home Safe and Sound

The girls and myself made it safely back from the U.P. on Friday.  We made it home in 9 hours and 20 minutes (not too shabby – they reason we made it quickly is because I don’t stop, not even for bathroom breaks… well, we did take one break at the bridge but that was it.)  They took naps the last 1 1/2 hour of the trip and woke up about 20 minutes from home so it worked that they slept the time they could have been the most antsy.  It is hard to believe that we spent 3 weeks in the U.P., it went by fast.  The three girls are enjoying playing with all of they toys that they haven’t really played with since June.

After dinner tonight, we filled up the pool and the girls enjoyed swimming in it (they were a little used to the cold water from Lake Superior :)
