Overall, last night’s trip was a success. While our little lady didn’t fall asleep until 9:57 p.m. (three and a half hours past her usual bedtime!!), she happily chatted, counted, read, and practiced saying “Hello Mamnaw!” until she finally zonked out when the sun went down. We arrived at Brad’s parents’ place around midnight and successfully put Grae back to sleep, despite the excitement of a bedroom filled with new treasures just waiting to be explored.
This morning we woke up to birds chirping and the Okanagan sunshine in full effect. Hello, vacation! Here are some photos of our day…
Pool filled and warming in the sunshine.
Chatting with Bella.
Loving the new tire swing PopPop made.
Very pleased with her new bracelet.
Grae’s treat of choice.
Home with her farmer’s market treasures.
An evening walk.
Piggy back rides.
We’re attempting my brother and sister-in-law’s famous travel-at-night-so-the-kids-sleep-in-the-car tactic tonight… We’ve done Miss G’s bedtime routine as usual (dinner, bath, potty, jammies) and we’ve tucked her into her carseat with her usual bedtime blanket and bears just in time for her normal 6:30 bedtime. Something tells me that our routine little lady won’t be zonking out any time soon, but we shall see…
