Family Vacation Wrap-Up

Oh No! Extreme back-blog!

Hopefully everyone has, by now, witnessed Mama Lou’s amazing feats of strength and has passed on the video to friends and strangers.

Jeremy and I have just returned to Cologne with our suitcases filled with sand from the Lynch Family Vacation. My parents came down too! We had a good time catching up with Jer’s immediate and extended family (for general activity highlights, visit Steph and Kris Lynch’s blog), cooking quiche, and introducing people to foie gras whilst making them wear mustaches. Jeremy and I are actually Tan. This may be a yearly occurrence for some of you, but it is an exceptional event for me.

Other noteworthy events that occurred at the Family Vacation (besides the number 1 highlight of seeing my parents):
1. Hearing Jeremy sing Whip It at the karaoke party
2. Waking up at 5:15am to have a chat with Jer’s grandmother (we wanted to watch the sun rise, but it was blocked by naughty clouds)
3. Standing in the ocean up to our knees with Caroline and Ava (the extremely good-natured and well-behaved children of Ken and Steph Brenneman) and Rocky and swinging them over the waves.

We don’t have any pictures because I emptied the batteries in NYC filming Daria Richman-Prices’s explanation of The Algorithm, but I’ll post something from my parents’ camera. I’ll save The Algorithm for the next blog…

Maybe my parents will send me a couple of pictures through email... hint. hint.

PS- Our plants didn't completely die! Yay! Just the raspberry bush and a few spring flowers didn't make it, but the tomato and zucchini plants are now uncontrollable behemoths that are threatening to invade Luxembourg.

We loved seeing you and Jeremy and enjoyed visiting with the Lynch family at their beautiful beach house. They were very gracious hosts when we came over to see you. Chris's moustache pictures tell it all. Dad will work on our pictures soon.
