Vacation

Mommy and Laura visiting Delta Lake for the first time...

Laura and her Great Grandpa! Love this pic :)

Ahhhh - her first trip on a swing... and let me just say that she's been on a swing a few other times since then since she loved it so much! Once at the park at the birthday party - and then again at daycare. She is too cute on the swing - huge smile and giggles nearly the whole time.


I took last week off of work and we ended up having a very busy week! It was fun, but also exhausting. Getting into bed after 10 most nights really did me in! I was glad for the few mornings that Laura decided to sleep in a bit (like 7-7:30ish)... and the one day that she woke up at 6:30 and was ready for a nap at 7:20 and ended up sleeping for a nap until 9! :)

Saturday: Went to my 10 year high school reunion...
Sunday-Wednesday visited camp (my mom, and dad for a few hours) and went to visit my grandmas and grandpa...also visited the zoo :)
Thursday - a day at home mostly - and went grocery shopping. Yes, as some of you have heard, we (Laura and I) took a nap at Aldi's. Now, before you go thinking that's really weird, let me explain - we left here around 12:30 (that's nap time!) ... Laura passed out in the carseat on the 10 minute drive (like she always does). Well, by the time I got to Aldi's, it was pouring rain. A nice drenching rain that would have been no fun running through with a tired baby who was woken up early from her solid afternoon nap... so, I crawled in the back seat of the van and laid down on the seat - woke up an hour and 15 minutes later when she woke up from her nap. The rain had slowed down, we both had good naps...and we had a pleasant afternoon doing our grocery shopping. There, not so weird after all... :)
Friday - A picnic and Grandma and Grandpa Clarks. Laura rode the tractor for the first time and went in the big pool :) She enjoyed both!
Saturday - picnic at a friend's house... I think my favorite part was the nap in the hammock! I didn't fall asleep, but it put Laura right out and was very comfy :)
Sunday - A birthday party for a 1 year old little boy.
See? Busy "vacation!"

And so, a few pictures to share...
Zoo:







Laura and her grammie at the delta beach - talking with aunt megan on the phone.


Enjoying an ice cream ... Mmm! It was muggy and this was way past Laura's bed time. I tried getting her to fall asleep by walking her in the stroller over at the nursing home, but she just liked saying "ah ah ah" and listening to her echo in the atrium... so yeah, that was a late bedtime for her!

Laura and her great grandpa holding hands ... awe!


Still to come: tractor and pool pics and birthday party pics... didn't get to those yet.

oh yes - and our attempt at trying to get a picture of her tooth... not so successful... will keep trying!
