Her name is Izzie. Weighing in at a scant 28 pounds, this lightweight does heavy duty in the bug bite department. What looked like three small bumps last night sent Poppy into a panic this morning - he claimed to want to go home, saying he left for the summer but our children's problems follow him everywhere. Was he kidding? We'll never know. Benadryl hasn't helped much to this point. Aunt Patti - if you are reading this, please understand now my concerns about the biting bugs up north! We're not easily deterred from our plans, but it does in fact look like she was in a heavyweight fight with Mike Tyson.
We had a carefree drive through Minnesota and into eastern North Dakota, stopping to enjoy a sunny picnic lunch. KEY WORD: SUNNY. Dad has a smile on his face now.
None of us could remember tonight's campground from the last time (Jamestown) until we got here and travelled down that dusty road - see the picture of the bikes on the back of the big RV. Once here we recalled our first visit and our first ever flat tire. The kids ran off to the playground happily, Kieran tried his first training-wheels-free bike ride with some success, and Gabe and Mark are battling it out in Scrabble.

Bug bite looks bad! Poor Izzie. Amy had one eye completely swollen shut from a camping-related bug bite this week. It's probably too late for advice, but Zyrtec worked much better than Benadryl for us. Sounds like you're cruising across the states!!
