madison

back from minneapolis... the highlight of the trip were the stopovers in madison. not only is madison a much cooler town than ours, it also is the home to DH's cousins and their adorable 2 year old. here she is with her new present, our old cell phone. her mom tells me that she cradled it in her arms as she was falling asleep and the last thing she said was a sleepy "don't take my phone away ..."


her kitchen was a big hit with boo. here he is making a meal for her. a good precedent, i think.


also a hit was the toy camera. he knew how to advance the film somehow, even though i don't believe he's seen a non digital camera. a natural, i like to think. i'd been thinking of getting a camera and kitchen for his birthday, and this cements it.


we stayed overnight in a nearby hotel with a fun waterpark, which was enjoyed by all in the morning despite being a bit chilly. even with blue shuddering lips, boo wanted to go on the waterslide again and again.
