We all made it back home safe and sound after nearly 3,000 miles of driving. Lucky has slept since we walked in the door exhausted from all that driving. Quentin and Carrie returned unharmed and a new car seat greeted us at the door compliments of us. Our resident wordsmith, Carrie sent off our letter scolding Delta for their disappointing behavior. Hopefully, they will respond in a gracious check writing manner but I don't think either of us are holding our breath. Quentin never really liked that car seat anyway so maybe he'll take to this new one. They attempted to charge us for a bag on the way home to cover the car seat. Um, lady use your peepers. It wouldn't be possible to beat this thing up more than it currently is. We'll pass on the $5 charge but appreciate your concern.
While in Wisconsin Quentin paid homage to the great bambino of brie, the sultan of swiss and the colonel of curd by devouring his first cheese curd in the Milwaukee airport. You have to start these kids early on cutting their teeth on cheese before they get too old. He liked it ergo he's an official cheese chomping Spiegelhoff. Unfortunately the Qster was not able to go swimming as the weather was on the rainy and cold side. I'm not sure who controls the thermostat in the midwest but they are asleep at the wheel. One day it's a 102 and the next day it's 61. Who can pack for weather like that!? The dog is still chicken of the water. (He's afraid of the waves crashing {river style} onto shore). He is a bit wussy, but at the same time we have two ponds in our backyard and we aren't so sure being afraid of the water is such a bad thing. He sniffed it, drank some of it, stared at it and even barked at it, but swim in it he did not. We pushed him in off the dock and that didn't do it either. It looks like this retriever is a land retriever. He did have fun making friends with a black lab ominously named Odie and the two of them wore themselves out daily.
The boating was fun and we found a new way to put Quentin to sleep instantly. The second that boat was in motion he was sleeping. As soon as it stopped the water works came on and the screaming began. We were in the boat while the uncles were tubing and every time one of them would fall off the cries began. It was clear who the real captain of the boat was. I said, keep going! It was hilarious. Like clockwork the boat would stop and he would wake up from a deep sleep and the second it started up again he was back sleeping soundly.

We had a good time but vacation has a whole new definition when you throw a baby in the mix. From the 5 am wake up calls to the constant freaking out of meeting new people it's rather exhausting. We're looking forward to taking a vacation from our vacation but we don't have any days left to take. Did I mention Carrie lost a diamond from her wedding ring? Oh, ya we'll leave that for tomorrow. I leave you with several pictures from the weekend. Shades - modeling, his brewcrew uniform (they won that day) and him in the boat with his life vest.
