Over the next few days I’ll bore you with pictures from our trip. Tonight is a small dose since Jason is watching the Twins on the Slingbox, downloading a new version of Slingbox & adding more friends on Facebook (but not taking his turn on Wordscraper/Scrabulous, grrr). It seems to be a bit more than our internet connection can handle.
Our first stop was Mark Twain Cave in Hannibal. I was a little concerned about Gavin & his darkness aversion but he did pretty well. He held my hand pretty tightly at first but then relaxed & enjoyed the last half of the tour. He wasn’t happy when the guide turned out the lights but handled it without screaming so Success!

Tova has been a little hard on her head & face. Before we left on our trip, Tova had to make a stop at the dr.’s office for a swollen eyelid. She’d had a mosquito bite Thursday night & on Sat. morning, her eyelid was almost swollen shut. The dr. didn’t think it was an infection or a sty so we drugged her with some allergy medicine & headed out. The first hour in the hotel, she fell off the bed. Tova discovered on our second night that if you trip on the bed & hit the corner of the stupid granite topped night stand, you can nearly earn a trip to the ER. As she was falling, I was thinking, this will be our first set of stitches. It was one of those falls that you watch it happen but can’t do anything about it. She has a nice shiner instead of stitches & I’m extremely thankful.
