Vacation

We just got back from our trip to Utah for two family reunions. We stopped at Mormor & Papa's house on the way up, where Walter fell and hit his head three times; first he split his lower lip, then he banged the back of his head, then he scraped his upper lip. Other than that we had a very good time, and Nils enjoyed shouting at the chickens.

In Utah Nils liked playing with Grandma Great's tractors and dog. Walter had a good time, but whenever anyone looked at him he'd get upset and start crying. We all enjoyed the moderate weather. Here is Nils & Walter playing Rummikub with their second cousin Kaylynn (I probably didn't spell that right).




The car ride home was rather unpleasant- construction delays meant that we spend an additional hour and a half in the car on top of the 8 hours we planned on. Nils started making up songs he would announce what the song was about, then sing it. The one he sang most was titled "Song: A Bird" and went like this "A biiiiirrd. A biiiirrrd. A biiiirrrd. A biiiirrrd. A biiiirrrd. A biiiirrrd." Walter was pretty miserable, but was generally appeased by a handful of dried blueberries.
