Up North

We returned a few days ago from our annual trip to the Bay Lake area with Sara's parents and sisters.  I have been a little slow at posting due to a nasty bug I picked up from, you guessed it, Lucy.  She was a little under the weather when we were on vacation and one particular night I spent sharing a bed with her did me in I believe.  At any rate, despite the virus sharing, everyone had a good time.  The weather was great - we did a ton of swimming, boating, fishing and there was a little golf for the adults.  The only activity conspicuously missing from the pictures are the boating pursuits.  I am not much of a fisherman so I didn't spend too much time on the boat.  I did make it for a quick tube ride with Stella.  I t was a slow speed effort, but a milestone as it was Stella's first ride behind a boat.  Very fun.

Evolutionary processes at work:  As children have become more assertive, adults have become more adept and tuning them out.
