a quick recap

Here's a quick recap which should explain why I haven't had time to post many updates recently!

Sun 8/4 - my last blog post about a lovely weekend
Mon 8/5 - so busy that I had to work extra long hours in the evening at home
Tues 8/6 - my throat started to scratch
Wed 8/7 - left work after about 3 hours - weakness, chills, fever, and general misery
Thurs 8/8 - another sick day
Fri 8/9 - still sick, but we headed up to North Dakota. After 8 hours of driving, we made it to Mike's grandparents'! (photos below)
Sat 8/10 - I was starting to feel human
Sun 8/11 - my first day without a nap in almost a week
Mon 8/12 - the 8-hr drive back to Mpls - Rose did a great job in the car both directions
Tues 8/13 - my mom was in town so Mike and I had an early anniversary date night at Republic (yum!) . Also, Rose had her first "transition day" into the Toddler Room!!!
Wed 8/14 - Mike started working on our new patio
Thurs 8/15 - our official 10-year anniversay
Fri 8/16 - our second anniversary dinner at Butcher and the Boar (double yum! and ouch to the pocketbook!)
Sat 8/17 - Mike finished the patio and I spent most of the day with Mitra and Dotty!!
Sun 8/18 - got caught up on errands - whew!

Whew is right! Here are the photos from our ND trip. (Note that I felt so sick most of the time that I pretty much just took pictures on Sunday when we visited the farm.)

There were BIG tractors at the farm!

Rose was a little uncertain of them at first.

There were also really big things to climb up!

We all took a turn.

One felt like a superhero atop the world!
ND is so flat that we could see FOREVER.

We climbed in the cab of every tractor.

Rose eventually started to enjoy it!

The tractors were huge.

Rose also loved playing in the yard.

Do you think these two might be related? ;)

We visited the one non-flat part of the area: Pembina Gorge.

It was surprisingly hilly - and lovely.

A great time was had by all!
With that, I need my beauty rest! I'd rather not get sick again, so it's early to bed for me. Have a great week, everyone!
