Stowaway

Lauren fit nicely into Aunt Dee-Dee's suitcase.
We haven't detailed Mom's recent trip to Seattle yet (that story is still to come). But we can show you some of the pre-trip hijinx that took place before she took off to see her brother, Karl, last Friday.

Aunt Bridget encouraged Lauren and Julia to try and squeeze into her suitcase. Apparently (and Dad doesn't remember this all too well), Uncle Neil was able to do this when he was a lot smaller than he is now.

We'll spare you the pictures of the girls inside the suitcase with the lid closed. Trust us, they fit. But we also emphasized to them that it is not funny to ever play "fit in the suitcase," just like it would not be OK to play "fit in the dryer" or "fit in the refrigerator."
