From here, looks like being the Daddy is hard!


This goes into the, “Someday we’ll look back on this and laugh…but not today…” category.
            Further proof that Alan is a keeper and being the Daddy is really hard. Twice now the black tank valve has been open when we go to dump. The result is that all the, er…. Black waste… is in the pipe, not in the tank so when Alan goes to put the dump tube on, it all, and I mean ALL, comes spilling out. The result is a fantastical stream of waste and profanity that really should be (but hasn’t been) video-ed. It’s reminiscent of that epic scene in RV in which Robin Williams launches a poo geiser.  This happened all the way back at Leech lake but the trauma of it is just now far enough behind us to bring it up. Let’s keep our fingers crossed that we don’t have to re-visit this epic, poo covered event.

     The brilliance of starting our full time experience at the Rally has become evident. We were able to hook up with Jema and John Anderson and the kids in Minnesota. They are from the area and had great advice about what to see and do. More importantly, they are outstanding people, parents and travelers that we adore. They are kind and loving, and they sat and talked through so much with us. Jema taught me how to make Kefir soda! She is an amazing artist and teacher, John is full of fantastic ideas and has really helped us to see more of life outside the box.




    Minnesota is clearly the land of many lakes and even more photo ops that require our family to be in a fishes mouth….

I'll post more when we get somewhere with better Wifi!
