More pictureness, pleeeze.

Way too many pics are up at the twins' blog. Enjoy.

American politics, discussed with American and Canadian fellow guests at the resort. All of the locals we talked to seemed to be VERY pro-Obama. As were the Canadians. Those folks from Indiana, not so much.

What a fun post! I'm glad you had such fun and I'm glad the girls are learning early that it's not a vacation until someone pukes.
