vacation part 4 (wednesday)

We woke up today with no plans. The sky looked cloudy and overcast. We weren't sure if we should just hang out at the cabin? Hike at Copper Falls? Or head up to Ashland/Bayfield area. My parents decided (or at least my mom) that she needed to go do laundry (?) so her and my dad left to head to the Hayward laundromat. Not a way I'd want to spend a half day of my vacation... waiting for clothes to wash/dry in a laundromat... but whatever?! (we pack enough for the entire week). I'm thinking that they (she) just wanted a day away from us so that was the approach she took... it didn't make for a pleasant morning (drama sucks). Whatever.

Anyways... Katie, Scott, Greg and I decided to head up to Ashland for lunch and a little shopping. After searching online I found a brewery there that also had a restaurant inside. We thought it would be a nice place to check out. The food was awesome! I had a half a turkey sandwich with lettuce, tomato and peppercorn dill dressing on marble rye bread with a bowl of beer cheese soup. SO, SO good. The dressing was delish. The bread was soft. The tomatos were perfectly ripe. It was heavenly.

Katie, Greg and Scott acting goofy...

Greg still acting goofy... (and yes, his shirt does say: I put ketchup on my ketchup. My husband has to many quirky shirts like this)

Ellie on the other hand wanted nothing to do with any food... except her popcorn basket. She had a glass of chocolate milk and popcorn. Again with the quality nutritious meals she's eating on vacation!! On the way out the store she had to steer the ship!
On our way up to Ashland we come to this beautiful field of sunflowers... on the way home I made Greg pull over so I could take pics. It was BEAUTIFUL! Sunflowers everywhere!
Ok. I am just about peeing my pants I'm laughing so hard! Ellie cracks me up. She keeps dancing with her barbie and we've been on a little mermaid kick... so when we ask her what her barbie's name is she say's it, "ah uh ah"... like she is singing the song from little mermaid. Then a split second later she decides she wants to be naked.

And in...
