Kaj has been gone for what feels like forever but really it was just two full days and one night. He went to celebrate his friend Pierce's B-day. They went to Duluth with Pierce's Grandparents and two of his sisters and went to the Aquarium and took a ride on the Vista. The big hit at the aquarium was the fish were fed cat food and the scuba diver feeding the fish did a pinky stand. The Vista ride was fun too. They got to see a large Salty go under the bridge and two tug boats moving it around. But the really big hit was something about picking a shark and if you got a blue one you got a blue water bottle and if it was a red one then you got a red water bottle. The kids discovered, before they got in the car for the 2 hour ride home that the straws from the water bottles make a whistling noise. Needless to say the straws were safely packed away in the way back. The next day they played on the beach at Nanbajou, which Kaj seems to think is called the Bananabajou. The owners are going to love that one.
It was strange to just have Brandi. But we took Brandi out to the Trout and had a very nice time. The night before Brandi and I made stuffed sea shell noodles. It was a really good dinner. Then she did typical teen age things of playing on the computer. But mostly she seemed a little lost without the direction of Kaj.
A few nights before this was our anniversry. We had talked about it a little in front of the kids, but later that night Kaj says "Pretty soon Dad is leaving" I said "Here is he going" He said "After people have been married awhile they go live with other people" I informed him that was not really the plan or the goal. My how times have changed.
The kids are going to have an overnight with the Aunts in a week or so which they are very excited about. We will have a night to ourselves in Duluth and then go and pick them up. I have a feeling without the kids it is going to be very fast shopping.
