Last week we went with some of T's family to California!
The trip started out a little rocky...something to do with a screaming one year old for an entire 3 hour flight and a pregnant mom in tears?... I don't remember...it was all kind of a blur - Okay it wasn't a blur, its burned into my brain...and will probably be there for a while.
we got into the hotel late and decided to hit Disney the next morning.
It was pretty fun!
Some highlights...
Grandpa had this kid rolling in laughter all week, seriously
Easy was about 2 inches too short for most rides at Disney, so while the grown ups and non-preggos waited in line for rides, we spent alot of time wandering around the park, meeting people and playing. lots of kids had these bubble machines and Easy loved EVERY bubble.
Of course, we did alot of eating. this Disney day included 2 outfit changes.
we found one pretty great ride that we could all go on, and although this kid is pretty stoic, he loved it.
probably one of his favourite things of the day was cars land. lately hes been really into cars, little toy cars, are his toy of choice to carry around and he loves driving them all over everything and everyone.
He sat on the railing and watched people go by on the cars ride for literally an hour. pointing every time a car went by. it was so fun, his little brain must have been exploding. at one point one of the cars from the movie drove by us on the way to a meet and greet spot. I put Easy down and he took off running (yes hes into running lately and hes FAST) after it. he ran for a good couple minutes before the car disappeared and he sat down, looking very dejected.
It took us some work to get him to wear a hat. As my son, his skin is very fair and very sensitive, We went through a whole can of spray sunscreen and half of a tube of lotion screen this week for him... Eventually he warmed up to hats, how adorable is a baby in a hat???
The rest of the week was a flurry of beach days and shopping and pool-going.
Easy is like his grandma in that he really loves the beach. digging in the sand, even getting soaked by the cold salt water of the ocean. I felt a little bad though... I am not much of a beach person. Sand is not my friend, its something about the feel and how you find it in your bra days later... I am more of a sit by the pool and have a hot-tub accessible...person.
but it was 5 days well spent. Vacationing with a one year old is not really vacationing at all. I would like to change the name to "memory make-ation...ing?" it was busy. skipped naps and swollen ankles and a molar cutting through and eating nothing but goldfish for sometimes 3 meals a day and hormones and stained clothes are what make a memory make-ation. and I loved spending that time with my boys and my inlaws. they were seriously amazing, taking him when we needed a bit of a break, and sharing everything and taking breaks when I whined and required them. and I whined and needed breaks a lot.
the rest of the summer is work work work. I have a class im trying to finish, work in the office and a few more photoshoots and oh ya... only a couple months left before this baby makes his appearance!
yikes!
pregnancy update coming soon!
