On the Road - day 10

Saturday is a nice relaxing day...isn't it?

We were up, however it turns out Thing 2 was up way way before us...like midnight, poor Papa D and Gma H.

We went for a later than expected breakfast at a local restaurant. Then Gma H took Thing 1 for a haircut (again), while I took Thing 2, daddy and Papa D to the Farmer's Market. It was nice walking around, I thought Thing 2 might fall asleep in the stroller though.

We returned Papa D to the house and headed for Vernon, met up with Gma H and Thing 1 and watched her buy him a combine harvester...yeah Wheezy :)

We continued en route to Kelowna...so much for 10 am en route, it was about 1130... ah well, at least Thing 2 was sleeping. We met up with Auntie C sans family to get my glasses fixed then walked to Orchard Park. I have permanently swollen fingers so my rings need an adjustment, so we stopped to get that done, and wandered the mall. We drove to Westbank and picked up Mickey D's to eat at the house...darn restaurant screwed up our order for the 3rd time this trip. Uncle G went to do some work and was gone for a while, Daddy was busy watching a sleeping Thing 1 while I visited with Auntie C and Thing 2 played with Z...which was nice to watch.

After Uncle G returned he took Daddy down to the pub with his friend and we picked him up about 730 en route to Armstrong. We arrived back in Armstrong about 915, so it was a short good night with Gma H and Papa D before bed.

Tomorrow is another day.

On the Road - day 9

Friday started off as a usual day. We had kids up early, fed and dressed in order to be off and on our way to Vernon for my 930 hair appointment. I know all the Norman Wells ladies are jealous, I got to go see an actual hair dresser! However, due to the lack of anyone to maintain it, I went with just a trim. My husband and children went to the barber across the street, so Thing 1 could stop being a mop top and look like a nice little boy. Apparently he did great until he sat in the chair, then the toy flew and the attitude appeared.

We decided to stay and have lunch in the mall so we wandered and wandered until lunch then headed for Armstrong. Thing 2 fell asleep en route, but was awoken by Thing 1 while daddy surveyed the bakery. I tried to put Thing 2 down for a nap again, and daddy took Thing 1 to the park. However, I was the only one who slept.

For supper we went to the chinese food restaurant we always go to and ate with Gigi, Gma May and Gpa Field. It was nice except Papa D was expiring after a very long very hot week of work, so he went home early. When I returned for my boys, I stood and talked to Gpa Field for a while and found out that Thing 1 remembered losing a ball in Gpa Field's yard back in September.

It was a quiet night except for the fact that Thing 1 and Thing 2 were very tired by bedtime. Good night all.
