We left the Birky reunion mid afternoon, and headed to our VRBO cabin/house a couple hours away near Grand Rapids, MN. Along the way, a rather LARGE Paul Bunyan was along side of the road in Akeley (hard to miss this fella)...so we stopped to say hello.
We arrived to Grand Rapids, and it was NOT a pretty scene inside our van. We actually stopped at Walmart to get our groceries first (simply because I don't think they would've allowed certain children inside the restaurant the way they sounded). But Walmart cured (haha) the issues, and we were able to stop at a restaurant for food before unpacking our things at the house. I had to include this picture while we were eating, because the irony of the moments surrounding it were too much!
After eating, the bellies and behaviors were much happier. We made it to the cabin/house in about 10 minutes or less. The boys explored the inside while we unpacked just the essentials for the night. And then we went outside to check out the lake. It stayed light outside much later than in KS, so it was WELL past bedtime before we were all tucked in for the night.
So beautiful. Ready for some quiet days right here.
