A fun weekend visitor

Grandma (Nana) came to visit for a long weekend. Sophie and I picked her up at the airport on Thursday and we headed to the WOW sprinkler garden for a day of fun in the sun. We ate a picnic lunch and then spent a majority of the day playing in the water sprinklers and taking turns riding on the swings. Grandma was just like a kid herself in the sprinklers, but I think Sophia's favorite part was seeing the ducks at the end of the day.

Um, Sophie, I don't think you're supposed to drink the yucky sprinkler water.









On Friday Grandma played with Sophia all day and I had a chance to paint Sophie's room. I ran out of paint before it was finished...so that's going to be a fun project to finish up one of these days. (I'm in the process of turning her room into a little girl toddler room instead of a baby nursery.)

On Saturday we went to the beach and had a blast. Will and I actually were able to go into the water and use our body boards for some ultra fun surfing. I lost my sunglasses in the water, but it was definitely worth it to have Nana babysit Sophie under the beach umbrella so I could acquire my first tan of the season!

Of course the weekend went by way to fast and Grandma had to head home early on Sunday morning. Sophie literally spent the day catching up on her sleep. She didn't wake up until 11:15 on Sunday morning, was back down for a nap at 2:00 woke up at 5:00 to eat a light dinner and was back in bed at 8 PM for the night. Right before bed we decided to take a quick walk around the neighborhood and Sophia didn't want to ride in the stroller. She wanted to walk. We figured out that she lasted for a 1/2 mile before having a COMPLETE MELTDOWN.
