We took our bikes along and went biking on a beautiful trail Sunday afternoon. Eli rode his own bike. We were proud of him. He doesn’t have a great place to ride in Red Lake, so he hasn’t gotten comfortable on his bike. He did great.
We took advantage of hotel swimming pools and spent plenty of time in the water. The boys both did really well with that and, of course, loved it.
I love this photo.
And I don’t know what it is, but there is something about hotel rooms that is so freaking exciting. After four nights we were able to hone our skills in getting the boys settled down and in bed. The culmination of these newly-acquired skills took place on night #4. Everyone was settled into bed and the lights were off. From our bed, Kendall and I heard the following.
Whack.
Whack.
Smack. Whack.
Smack! Whack!
Smack! Whack! Smack! Smack! Whack! Smack! Whack! Smack! Whack! Smack! Whack! (A frenzied flurry of smacking and whacking.)
Snort! (From Evan.)
Waaaaaaa! (A wail from Eli.)
Yes, Evan bit Eli’s hand. And yes, I am sure that he snorted as he opened his mouth in preparation for the big chomp.
So, using our great skills, we gave up and separated the boys and ourselves, each sleeping in a bed with one.
