The Cabin 2010

Our annual trip to our cabin was a success! :) As always, it's great to see and spend time with family. This year there were 14 of us there. Ayla adapted extremely well to everything...I'm so proud of her. She had so much fun playing with everyone all week. She was a little sleepy-head while we were there...she'd sleep 12 hours overnight and still somehow sleep for more than a couple hours during the day. One day we even had to wake her up after three hours. Crazy.

She traveled well, all things considered. On the way up, we split the trip into two days. She hated going to bed in the hotel but eventually fell asleep. For the trip back, we went all the way in one day. I was a bit nervous about it (it's about a 9-hour trip) but the only time she became fussy was when she was ready to take a nap. We borrowed my parents' conversion van (thank goodness for that) so we were able to keep her busy with DVDs. I think I can recite Toy Story, word for word.

She loved playing in the dirt!

Quiet time with Papa

We took a trip up to Duluth, Minnesota mid-week and did some shopping and eating. We also checked out the Aerial Bridge.

During lunch, we took some pictures in a photo booth. Hands down, the best $3 I've ever spent. I lovelovelove the pictures!

Here are some close-ups...

On the Aerial Bridge...it lifts up when boats/ships need to pass through.

She totally runs like a girl. She is my daughter. :)

We had a family reunion at the end of the week...this is the whole clan!

Great week, great family...til next year!
