Back from S'toon...

And we had a great time! Thanks Grammy and Grampa for taking us with you! Monica especially enjoyed the new home we lived in while there. She loved roaming in the hallway. In the mornings, just like a dog/cat, she would sit at the hotel room door whining for me to let her out. We had many an argument when her reluctance to eat was solely due to her desire to get back out into the hallway to play. *Note: To anyone else who is travelling and planning to stay in a hotel with a young baby...bring outlet plugs. I'm glad I did!

Monica and I were even able to get out for our regular morning walks. I really enjoyed walking along the river. I'm going to miss that. After our morning walks, we would head down to the pool, which was especially nice since the weather was quite hot. The pool water was frigid, but that didn't stop Monica trying to crawl back in each time I took her out.

On Friday, the hottest day of the year, we went to the Saskatoon Zoo with Grammy(Grampa was working). We really enjoyed it, but the heat was pretty unbearable, so we only lasted a couple hours. We ended our excursion with a visit to the monkey house which was air conditioned...*phew*. Monica laughed and waved at the monkeys.

Other than that, we did some mall browsing, but didn't buy anything. We did make a trip out to the Berry Barn which Monica enjoyed...until I would not let her crawl off of the deck onto the brick patio. I did not forsee that ending favourably.

Well, I'm sure that's all for now. Below, I have posted a 2 minute video of Monica swimming in the hotel pool. The picture quality isn't that great because of the lights reflecting off of the water, but it's not bad for a first attempt at including some video of little Monica. Thanks to Jennelle and Kelly for the idea, which I got from their blog.

Have a great week, everyone!
