Today was a big day: Inga got her ears pierced! She's the first sibling to do so. We went to our local tattoo/piercing shop, which looks super sketchy but comes well-recommended. The piercing guy has been doing it for 19 years and, as you may guess, has tons of piercings and the most enormous ear gauges I have ever seen. He was super nice and the process was quick and not too painful. Ivy came along to watch.
The aftercare has changed a lot since I had my ears pierced when I was 9! No more spinning the earrings 2x/day, no more cleaning with antiseptic solution. Just salt water & soap cleaning 2x/day.
We had a Freeze Family Cleaning in the morning and finished deep cleaning the kitchen, except for the fridge. We'll do that a few days before we leave.
In the evening we toured the big historic estate right off our back yard, Lane Place. It was built by the Lanes (hence the name!) who were close friends with Abraham Lincoln.
