The Cape

We left Traverse City on a Thursday. Drove and stopped in North western New York that night.  It was an easy drive except when I fell asleep and Bud got a little off course.  Our GPS didn't want to work in Canada so he had turned it off and we drove south a ways before crossing the border.  It all turned out fine though.  
We arrived at the Cape in the late afternoon, stopped to pick up a few grocery items for dinner and were there in time to let Sofi an Isak get to know us before dinner time.  
It was 'chow time'.  They are so, so, so cute.
 Erik was home from his recent travels and helped with the dinner fixings.
 We felt lucky to meet his friend Lara. She spent quite a bit of time with us so we were able to get to know her a little too.
 Like all kids, the kitchen container draw is always a source of entertainment.
 One evening Erik decided that a fire in the fire pit was needed.  It was a little windy and chilly but it was nice.

 Isak would let me hold him but it took a little longer for Sofi to warm up to us.
 I think this picture is a little out of order .  Maybe computer error on my part but it sure is cute.  Mr. Potato Head is quite fun to play with.

 Sofi is walking very well and Isak is practicing every day.  He takes about 6 steps before falling down but is VERY persistent.  He will 'be off' as soon as he gets that core strength and balance thing down.
Sunday evening Erik fixed dinner for the whole crowd.  It was delicious.
We had a great time with the family.  We were thankful that Erik was around and we were able to spend time with Sara, Leo, Sofi, Isak, Erik and Lara.
We took off Monday morning and are now in N. Carolina  The weather is warm and we are enjoying the family here.
