In August we went to Minnesota to visit my in-laws, and anyone who has talked to me in the previous 4 months knows I had some concerns about the Boundary Waters experience we were going to have- canoeing, portaging all of our gear (children, food, tents, sleeping bags, clothes, porta-crib, etc.), camping with our three children, and having no access to civilization in case of an emergency. Well, we went and had a FABULOUS time on the trip- Boundary water, Canada, Minneapolis, Blue Fin Bay, staying on Lake Superior, and just being together. But just to prove (ya, I am that kind of pathetic) that my concerns were not totally irrational...
My in-laws took David's brother and sister and their families to boundary waters this past week. During the second night, they heard a bear outside of their tents in their camp - my bro-in-law was banging pots and pans, screaming, and doing all he could to scare it away (He has a three year old and baby just older than Aidan). It came back two more times that night- clawed through all of their water bottles, egg container, and ruined a bunch of other things. They were all wide awake at 5 am and packed up to go home... smart decision.
Good bye summer and hello fall!!!

Quotables
Ava was being babysat a couple of weeks ago. My sister and her kids had been here for the last few weeks from London and apparently she was trying to imitate the English accent, talking like a Brit as Ethan likes to call it. He asked her what she was doing and she responded, "I'm talking like an English Muffin."
The other day I was taking Ethan to school and he told me that this boy at his school was really fat. I told him that is not really a polite thing to say and he said, "I know, a nicer way is to call him puffy."
