Ice cream at the pier. She hardly ate any of it so Mommy "helped." This was the first night of the double ear infection, croup fiasco which explains the lack of ice cream eating.
Grandma brought this dress and a shell to take Cape Cod pictures. We coerced her into playing with the shell by putting m&m's inside it!
The whole fam at the beach. Katie loved finding shells, playing with her bucket and the waves.
Kayaking like her Daddy.
Her first time in the ocean. She LOVED it. We were just as excited to see her in the water as she was to be in it. not time for doing her hair that morning we went straight out to the beach.
So our trip to Cape Cod was a lot of fun. Katie was great on her first plane ride thanks in large part to dum-dum suckers. She slept almost the entire second flight. The hardest part for her was the drive from the airport to the Cape. It had been a really long day. We arrived after 8PM eastern time and got to meet the owners of the house we did the home exchange with. What a blessing how that worked out. They had a beautiful home and were very welcoming. We spent the first few days playing on the beach, going to the pond, getting PJ's clam chowder (my favorite!), and relaxing. Half way through the trip Katie got a double ear-infection and croup. We spent the next 5 nights holding a crying baby (picture Katie screaming NO at the top of her lungs), trying to sleep with her kicking us in bed, and even made a trip to the Orleans medical center. They put her on antibiotics and she slightly improved. We then packed up and headed to Moosehead lake in Maine. What a beautiful place! After another night of no sleep we went to the Greenville doctor and they told us to give Katie a cold medicine. Hallelujah! We finally slept as she cleared up. We were in Greenville for the International sea-plane fly-in which was so cool! We also ate fudge and ice-cream and got to spend some great time with my grandparents. The plane ride home started out with a screaming toddler. I could see the frightened looks of the passengers around us. Within 2 minutes she passed out and didn't wake up until Dallas . . . Thank you Lord!!! She repeated that performance on the next flight and then we finally arrived home after a 3 hour delayed flight at midnight Colorado time. Talk about a long day! Katie wouldn't fall asleep so we decided not to fight it and spent another night with the three of us squished in bed. We were so thankful to be home we didn't even care! She has finally mostly gotten back on schedule. Though we have some great memories, funny stories and super pictures . . . we are hoping that for our next vacation we can leave Katie at home:)
Daddy taking Katie around the neighborhood. Once she realized she would get candy she would walk up to the door and say "pick one?" I tried to get her to pick the kind I like!
The whole family.
Back of the ladybug costume. Yes, Mommy made it and is very proud of it:)
