Since Bradley was down in Vancouver last night, Gracen and I went for a sleepover to Grandma Sue’s house! After Grae’s first night away from her Papa (other than the one night we spent in the hospital when she was born), we woke up early, had some breakfast, and headed out for a walk in the neighbourhood. We ended up at a nearby park, where Grae enjoyed an early morning swing in her jammies. :)

Bradley’s gone to Vancouver for tonight and tomorrow, so what are the girls to do? Shop! That’s what. :)

Luckily Bella is around, because meal times have gotten messier than ever around here.

‘Yup. I think I know what I’ll have…’

This morning was beautiful. The sun was shining and it was warm without being hot. We were enjoying it so much that Grandpa Dave decided to run into town and pick up a little pool for Grae to splash in.

This morning we headed out to the Lumby farmer’s market with Grandma Charlotte. Although there was a good Watkins booth there (I love me some Watkins), let me tell you, if you blinked, you would have probably ended up missing the whole thing! On the plus side, there was a little playground nearby…

Just down the road from Charlotte and Dave’s place is a little park that has been around since Bradley was a boy. Today got our hoodies on and took a little stroll down to The Corner Park.

So far, we’ve been staying out in Lumby at Brad’s parents’ place. Today we took a trip into Vernon and ran errands, visited the farmer’s market, and stopped by Grandma Sue’s new place for dinner. The farmer’s market was fantastic. Gracen got a bag of baby carrots (which she clearly was quite pleased with), and Mama got a fresh-squeezed lemonade! Yum.

We just can’t seem to get enough of the outdoors. After living in Kuwait for four years, having a backyard, green grass, and a mountain view is a privilege. So after Grae had a good nap, we headed out to Grandma Charlotte and Grandpa Dave’s backyard. :)

Today we got a chance to catch up with our old friends, Mike and Hayley, and their darling little lady, Sloan. They too have a dog named Bella, but due to the fact that she can fit in a coffee mug, Gracen wasn’t at all intimidated.

Just a regular afternoon outdoors…

Well, after a very long trek, we arrived in Canada safely with all but one of our bags. After a good night’s sleep, letting Gracen explore the outdoors was at the top of today’s to do list. :)

Our long trek home to Canada began at 12:40 a.m. on Sunday morning. Grae was a trooper as always as we scooped her up from her crib on Saturday night, buckled her into her car seat, and headed to the crowded Kuwait airport.

‘What’s that, Mama? This is our very last day in Kuwait?’

As we begun our packing mission today, Grae enjoyed rooting through things and tossing things out of their bags… She obviously thought it was quite comical!
