What I Learned on My Summer Vacation

1) The phrase "running through the sprinkler" can mean two very different things.(Note how the position of DD1 remains constant. She just stood there letting the water slap her in the face. Occasionally, she would call over her shoulder, "Mom? I'm gettin' all wet!" Apparently, this was "good times" for her)

2) "Peeling corn" is serious business. Eating said corn, however, is optional.

3) Wedding cake should always be eaten with a knife and fork.

4) Swimming with Uncle "The Boy" is terrific fun.


5) As is fishing with Grandma. (Many many sunfish caught and released on the Barbie fishing poles that day.)


And finally 6) Just because you've been trapped in a car for 16 hours with your family doesn't mean you can't accessorize and have a good time.
Today's lessons were brought to you by Zoe and Ilsa. Mom has been knitting, we swear! She even went to LYSes and bought yarn. We'll make sure she fills you in. Eventually.
