Holiday in the prairies!

Seems so long ago, and yet I still can vividly recollect the relaxed feeling of my 6 day vacation. Jennifer and I left the rest of the family behind, put our feet up, and graciously accepted all that our hosts had to offer.

We enjoyed lots of smiles and silliness from the younger members of the family. :) This served a double purpose, one to fill a few of the empty spaces we left behind, and also to make us eager to go back home to fill our spaces again.

Evan is as bad as some of my children, when it comes to posing seriously for the camera! I caught him inbetween faces as he prepared to leave for school one morning.

Someone studious.

I really enjoyed this walking trail that I didn't expect to find in such flat land. It was mildly hilly, but gorgeously surrounded by trees, and, unusually covered with snow on the branches.

Jennifer thrived off of the attention she received from the kids, since she did miss her siblings, especially when Evan was off to school! On the pillows you can see one of the 30 or more houses Emily built (she makes them out of everything imaginable!) and showed me.

Evan spent a lot of time with Lego, and great at demonstrating how to play with what he made too!

And there is me, totally relaxed and ready to dive back into the beehive back home!
