Fun to look at your pictures again! Glad you were able to have such a fun trip with your family! Adelyn wondered what the towel animal was and when I told her she laughed and said "that is so silly mom!"
Ha! I love the last picture you posted. Too bad you had to come home to so much white after being around so much blue. Job well done Mom! I loved all the pictures (especially of the one with Dad and Ted) and all the captions. You little scrapbooker you! And you look great! Wow, my mom's a beauty!
Mom-you are beautiful! Adam and I sat here together in awe at the places you actually went to. Photos are awesome! But...I have to say...we are glad you are back. McKay had withdrawals not talking to you everyday.
