Up North



We parked the coach at “our spot” at Shayne and Sarah’s cabin and the summer is ready to roll. Our first picnic (so we are all wearing coats and Max has on a hat) and s’mores over the campfire. This is Minnesota!

A Couple Cute Baby Pictures



Addy has the cutest ladybug hat (and she leaves it on).

At breakfast Max introduced Addy to her first blueberries. He enjoyed his very much!

Happy First Birthday, Addy!




So this is a birthday cake and I eat it...how?





Yum...this is good!!

The Mitchell Family



Addy spends her car riding time like many other young ladies--on the phone (I think she’s talking to Cousin Brayden in Florida checking out the weather!)

Shayne, Sarah, and Addy

A Morning with Addy




A knock on the door and hand the baby to Grama! Yea--we get to play with Addy. She was a busy girl exploring the motorhome. She read books with Grampa and had a little snack.

Dancing to the Music--Addy

She also “found” the front of the coach and when the CD started playing she danced--just like Brayden did. We just love those babies!!!

Feeding Frenzy





We took a little trip to Animal Kingdom Lodge and saw these beautiful giraffes eating banana leaves like a piece of celery. The grounds of the Lodge are gorgeous and we came upon a flock of greater flamingos eating in their little pond. I didn't know they were pink because of what they eat--pink food! (Actually red crustaceans they filter from the mud--although I don't know if that's what happens at Disney World.) Then Pat, John, Mitch, and I partook of the African buffet at Boma Restaurant--40 ethnic foods to choose from. I particularly liked the curry pasta salad, the mashed potato-cinnamon-honey sweet potatoes (fufu), and the upside down pineapple cheesecake on white chocolate. Very interesting food, and a lot of fun!
