For those of you who have been eager to see pictures from our trip, here's a link to the good pictures that I weeded out from all the bad ones that I also took. :)

If you have troubles with the link, let me know!
I'm still working on creating an actual photo book, and will also print out some 4x6's at some point, but at least you can see some of the hightlights on Snapfish for now!
P.S. I also did a series of wildflower close-ups, if you're interested in that album:

Rose-isms: outsmarting the grandparents
Last week Rose went to my parents' house while Mike was at a training for work. Of course we all had a fun time (I got a start on sorting through our vacation photos, Mike got to go fishing a few days after work, and Rose apparently LOVED Bay Beach), but Mike and I also missed her like crazy! The house was so quiet without her energy, and it was great to get our little family back together again on Friday.
Once we got back together, it was a lot of fun to hear Rose talk about all the cool things she did with Ninja and PopPop -- between the concerts, the amusement park rides, the dinners with extended family, and "inside out canoeing," I'm surprised she slept at all!
But my favorite part of her recounting the week's adventures was when she gleefully told me "the rules are different at Ninja and PopPop's!!!" She proceeded to tell me about how she drank milk at every meal (usually we limit it to once per day) and she ate mac&cheese every day (we usually limit it to every other day). She just looked SO proud of herself as she talked about the rules being different.
This totally cracks me up because (a) she clearly noticed the discrepancy right away, and (b) she chose not to say anything until after the fact!! (She's no dummy!)
I think I like this combo of just a little bit of mischief with a good dollop of honesty. :)

Full circle
I took a similar photo about 3 hours into our trip (over two weeks ago). Here we are on the last leg toward home...

Change in plans
Mike and I reached our breaking points yesterday - sad to leave glacier, tired after a 9 hour drive, and annoyed with multiple rude people/bad drivers at TR national park. Well, we went in with the plan to be flexible if needed, and flexibility was definitely what we needed. After setting up camp, each drinking a little alcohol, and having a short discussion, we quickly came to a consensus and decided to skip our second night at TR. It's a beautiful park, but we needed to be headed home and also needed some creature comforts. So today we drove about 4 hours to fargo and got a hotel for the night. Bliss! A pool, two comfy beds, and only 3.5 more hours till we get home tomorrow!!! A great way to end our epic family vacation.
