Ada and Liam got to go to Buck Hill for a tubing excursion during Minneapolis Kids. Ada went down three times and Liam five if their memory was correct. They also liked sitting in front of the fire when they were cold.

When I was going to take Ada’s lift tag (or whatever they’re called) off the next morning before school she insisted that it stay on. And that it was facing the right way.

And here is Helena in the hat that she hasn’t taken off in a month. She didn’t go tubing but she went to Benihana where the excitement was that some kid who is generally a troublemaker left the restaurant and ran across the parking lot, wouldn’t come back, so the police had to be called.
