The start of our "vacation"

Yesterday was a loooooong day. It started out like any other day, but ended very differently. We were almost all packed and ready to go, it was going so well. A friend of ours-Amy took the dogs to her house for the week, and one of our dogs bit her oldest son. It sounds like she just got over excited, and this is totally out of character for her, but none the less, the dogs couldn't stay at their house anymore. So Joel went to pick them up, and now they'll spend the week at our house, getting visits 2-3x day from Amy. So a little bump in the road, but not the end of the world. (He's okay, they glued the puncture shut) Then we took off for the resort, we were pulling the camper, and had the girls, Bryce and Sharon had the boys and were pulling the boat. We drove the 3+ hours to the resort only to find out that they had us booked in the wrong cabin-one that was way to small for the 5 adults and 2 kids that were supposed to stay in it. Of course they had nothing available for us, so we talked about other options, and decided to head back toward Brainerd-another 60+ minutes in the truck. Katje and Tom located another resort that had more than enough room for all of us right in Brainerd. Of course it was a bit of an upgrade-especially for us-there isn't camping here. So we had to unpack the entire camper into the condo we're staying in and park the camper in the lot. We left our house at 2:30, and by the time we had settled in and were ready to officially start our vacation, it was after 10pm. It was a very long day, but we all slept easy and arose to a new day-the OFFICIAL start of our vacation.
