Wilson and I made it safely back without any outstanding incidents. You could really smell the cows all throughout Nebraska, but it wasn't too bad. We didn't get to leave until like four in the afternoon cuz that's when they finally finished my car.

So we got in around six a.m. I sent Wilson to get some sleep. I decided just to stay up, since when I went to get blankets Chantel was AlReAdy awake! So I drank some coffee and we woke Rachel up

Later that day we decided to go canoeing , so we hooked it up on the Lincoln and then decided to see if Liz would want to go too. A few complicated plans later we were on our way. It was a beautiful day to go. So we paddled from lake to lake, while Matthew chattered the whole way.

Yesterday we went to the Mall of America and Wilson found a sword. I persuaded the little girls to come if I gave them five dollars to spend.

Tonight is the Fire Station Open House, which my mom has had to plan for the last two months. She assigned Wilson to be Sparky the Firedog, so that should be interesting. ;-)

Love, Gretel
