That was a great post! I loved it. And there is a picture in there that I really liked that I don't have. I'm not sure how that happened. I'll have to have you email it to me.

Fun trip! You guys looked like you had a blast the entire time! I love that you make matching PJ's for all the kids - so cute! Maybe I should give it a whirl while there are only 2 grandkids...
