4th of July week 2024 - Days 7 and 8

All good things must come to an end! Yesterday we said goodbye to Ethan, though Annie and I got him to go for a run with us first. It was rainy most of the day, so we did some chores (washed windows, returned cans to the store and restocked some essentials in the condo) and took one more leisurely drive to Dancing Crane. We hung out for awhile before one more trip into town for final souvenir and gift shopping, then met John, Sue, and Sally at Lockview for dinner. I finally got to have some whitefish - a favorite!

This morning, Annie and I went for one more up north run/walk. That is, we ran to the coffee shop and shared an iced latte as we walked back. We packed and cleaned up, which, as usual, was quite an affair. The littles really wanted one more stop at Sherman Park, so they played on the playground while Annie, Nellie, and I sat on the beach for a few more minutes.

Then we drove home, and it is good to be home.

The Flinstone car still works! They weren't sure it would hold five kids, but there were five cavepeople and a dinosaur riding it in the picture, so...

This freighter came by right before we left, and we loved the painted mural of runners on it!
