Bemidji Trip - Day 14

We spent some time with Dad and Beth this morning and then said "goodbye." We drove up to Katie's new house in Hanover. Had lunch at McDonalds. We arrived pretty early, with plenty of time to go out and have fun. Instead, Nicky started yelling at the kids and (I'm sure it is the stress) that led to her and I having a fight (over a kid's shoe...). As a result, we didn't end up doing anything all day except driving to the Christmas Tree Shops for a short time. I ended up going back with John to the house. He had a lot of work to do on his deck, so we hung out for the rest of the day. Meanwhile, Nicky went shopping... By the time it was dusk, everyone had returned from their shopping spree and things had settled down a little bit. The evening weather was nice - not really hot - and we walked around her neighborhood and had a cookout. The kids were excited to have a sleepover with Aria and "Little John." Katie made Margueritas and we stayed up talking for a while...
