Bumper US Vacation Issue

Hello friends! We're back from our big American vacation! We had a marvelous time, and were so happy to be able to have such a long visit with Grandma and Grandpa; Susan, Dan, Katie and Gabriel; Bill and Nina.

Among our many adventures was a trip to Lake Michigan:



A trip to the zoo:


Rides on our bikes:


Visiting Bill Burck & Co. on their farm and meeting their chickens:


Reading stories:


Eating fresh raspberry pie:


Wearing a colorful plastic Slinky as if it was a glamorous mink stole:


And hanging out with Isabelle's cousin Gabriel:


Issy's had a sort of rocky relationship with Gabriel. Despite being only two months older than she, Gabriel is way more advanced in the walking, eating and talking departments, and I think Isabelle is a little bit intimidated. Gabriel can do a lot of things she can't, and actually inspired her to learn how to climb the stairs and drink from a big-girl cup, so in all, it was a fruitful partnership, but there were some growing pains for sure.

By the end of the trip they eventually got to be friends, and it was hilarious:


We can't wait to go back for Christmas!
