Vacation

Pizza crust
I think that Emily has been having a good summer vacation so far. She spent about five days with Grandma and Grandpa P. before returning to the cabin that we rented for five weeks.

Over the past couple of weeks, she has been taking it pretty easy - swimming, a little bit of kayaking, feeding the fish, rescuing turtles, biking, etc. All the typical cabin activities. This morning we are going to see if we can pick some raspberries. She is looking forward to it. She picked strawberries with Grandma and said that they taste so much better when they don't come from a store. So true. 

Of course, Emily continues to make us laugh with her quips and unique observations. Earlier this week, Emily noticed some water on the bathroom floor by the toilet. She wondered whether the toilet was leaking and asked Chad to help investigate. He was trying to figure out where the water may have come from, so he asked Abbie if she had done anything that would have gotten water on the floor. He said, "Abbie, did you wash your feet or anything?" Emily responded, "Dad, Abbie wouldn't have washed her feet in the toilet!" Of course, that is not what Chad was asking, and we all cracked up at the comment. It always hits when we least expect it!
