Discovery

In the last 24 hours I discovered that I CAN manage a vacation with my kids by myself.  We arrived at the cottage just before sunset last night, unpacked the car, ate dinner, set up the play pen, got Eva to sleep and Sam in the shower all before 9pm.  And today we made a trip to the grocery store before playing on the beach, swimming and boogieboarding and building sand castles and learning to skip stones (highlight of my day--check out the video to see why), going for a nature hike to pick thimbleberries, and making a trip to Sunset Park in Sturgeon Bay.  I cannot believe how fast the day went and how perfect the weather and the water were.  TT arrives at midnight.  We're all very excited.  I am so blessed.
