Are We All Too Scared?

Not but weeks ago I thought to myself, "You know you had a good vacation when it's going to take countless, lenghty blogs to display to the world all the wonder and goodness contained therein- better get right to work!" And yet, dear family, here we live, all 16 participants, pictureless, wonderless, goodnessless, and blogless. What happened? Was it so great that we all got too scared to blog? Was it so cherishable perhaps we try not and therefore corrupt not the coolness thereof? Was it so big and splendid we don't even know where to start? Who will venture forth into uncharted territory of blogs left unwritten and ensure our history is recorded to the internet using world? Whoever the brave soul may be, take courage in the thought that your fellow vacationers-your fellow shotgun shooters, your fellow bowlers, your fellow royfamilychristmaschallengers, your fellow officers, your fellow eaters, and your fellow runners- will soon follow after to record their varying perspectives on the greatest vacation ever if you but first take the leap of blogging faith!

On a different note, here's a post less intimaditing to create, and for the benefit of the tan and lucky Linde parents:

(Or maybe just a little intimidating- babysitting Ally for the past week has been an ambitious undertaking, and it's hard to keep up with this bundle of cute baby fat. ) After a few days at the Roys she...

...has worked harder than Grandbill at the computer...

...composed 4 major symphonies on the piano...

...auditioned for American Idol and other prestigious singing institutions...

...lifted weights and worked out every day...

...and eaten as much, if not more, than her dad!

...And here's a bideo!

Hooray for baby Ally! We're doing our best to keep up with her, and one thing that may sustain us for the rest of this babysitting expenditure is a nice refreshing blog from one of you! (Oh yeah, and vote for Sis. McLay's avocado movie!)
