O Canada


So last week we drove up to Whistler with Loren's parents and his brother's family. Whistler is amazingly beautiful, and we stayed in the most
unbelievable house, which belongs to Loren's cousin. I cannot describe it justly, but let me just say that it has 8 bathrooms and 2 hot tubs, and we had to play Marco Polo to find each other quite frequently. That should give the general picture. Anyone that has any brilliant ideas about how to get private jet rich, please send them my way, because I am now disatisfied with my regular life. I want to move in there just for the mattress/bedding. Of course all kinds of other fun was had too. Hikes were hiked, books were read, puzzles were puzzled, ice cream was eaten with reckless abandon, cows were ridden, balloon swords were brandished, gondolas were gondolaed, naps were napped with great frequency, pool was sharked, shops were browsed and balls were hurled down the stairs repeatedly. Benjamin was a grumpy little sicky for a good portion of the trip, which was unfortunate, but did have the surprise upside of a 3.5 hour nap on the trip home. He slept from Whistler to Arlington. It was a veritable nap marathon. We also celebrated Isabelle's 12th birthday, golfed for father's day (not all of us) and hot tubbed often. It was all very satisfactory.

That looks like a wonderful trip! I love that Jammy will nap in your arms (or on your belly) -- I don't think Z would be willing to do that.

If you figure out a way to become fabulously wealthy, please let me know too. That looks like a lovely way to live.

Cows were ridden?!?!? Now that is a vacation...also, please do share your private-jet-rich ideas with me, too! That house looks A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.

Looks like a great time was had by all. I love the one of the little laddie lying n the bottome stair. He did that today at Aunt Cookie's.

Holy $%^# - that looks like an unbelievably fun vacation...I don't have any get rich ideas but maybe if we all sell our current homes we can each buy 1 bedroom in a house like that (maybe....)
