Our vacation to Bloomington was just what the doctor ordered for our family!  It was a vacation for us and a staycation for Greg, Erin, and the boys.  Anne and Grandma/Grandpa Morgan came down, as well.  Last year we went to the Dells, which was fun, but it was so nice to be at someone's home! 

We flew down there because 50 mins in the air beats 8 hours in the wagon any day.  Plus, the Bloomington airport is incredibly easy to fly in/out of.  Of course both flights were scheduled during Finley's sleeping hours and she didn't want to fall asleep with so much to look at.  After much fuss, pulling mom's fresh cup of water over on her pants, and two tense parents, the seat belt sign was turned off and I stood up to bounce this little girl to sleep (with my wet pants and underwear).  Here she is snoozing in Dad's arms. 
It was amazing to have Annie and Erin volunteer to feed Finley, put her down for a nap, give her some sweet potatoes, etc.  I actually got to finish a magazine cover to cover!  Finley loved it too!

It is so sweet to see Finley with her cousins.  The feelings are surely mutual - they love her and she loves them.  See the evidence in the next few photos:
this is my favorite...she's just hanging out and chatting with the boys!
are they related or what?
It was HOT and real humid down there.  Finley experienced her first baby pool to cool off.  She loved it so much she spit up sweet potatoes into it.
trampoline skills were on display all weekend

We had such an awesome, stress-free vacation filled with family and good food and tons of laughs.  Thanks E&G for letting us vacation at your house.
