We're back!

Travelled through the night and got back to Ottawa at 8AM. Thank god for older kids. They made their own lunch while Chris slept and I vegged. There are mountains of smoky laundry to process and a cat newly back from her first boarding experience and groceries to buy. More details and pix later, I hope.

ETA: I lied:



...and let me tell you, Mark and I had an entertaining time explaining the family tree to the unsuspecting kayak guide who asked us who was who on the first day. I think she thought we were lying when we told her the three siblings on the trip were the two of us and Emma. And when we told her my mom was Chilean, Mark's was Greek, and Emma's was Vietnamese. And that there were actually two more siblings, who just weren't with us on this trip.

So did you not get to meet Dennis then? Or just not on that part of the trip?

It's so exciting to get to see a picture of you and your family! :D

Welcome home. I'm glad it went (mostly) well. I can't wait to see pictures/hear stories! We had a great time seeing you!

Trinh is beautiful. And Mark is quite good-looking, as well.

And Justin! Look how big he is! Is he taller than Daniel, or just more solid? (Remembering my own childhood...and my utter inability to convince the world that *I* was the older sibling, and, no, we weren't twins.)
