pretzels

We are in full on relax mode around here... There are a couple of reasons: A: We all have a bit of sick including J, who hardly ever gets sick, had a delirious fever he slept off for 19 hours.  B: We added to the list of bizzaro weather around here with a derecho last night.  It was a very high wind thunderstorm that seemingly took out more trees and caused more damage than the hurricane last year.  There is a huge tree through the house behind us  - a little too close for comfort - a very unexpected wake up call around 10pm.  I've never been more thankful for our generator (although it appears our phones are out, we do have the internet and power!).

The pretzel bakery in Lititiz was the last stop before the pestilence set in to our family - Good thing they didn't actually cook the pretzels they taught us to make ;)  Aiden looked up to the kids on the trip so much, and I wish and hope we didn't share germs with them.  (There will be more fun photos from my dad too) We are going to be lounge lizards for a while and hopefully we'll bounce back for the 4th!
