Last weekend was one of the best. We had such an awesome time at our friends Zac and Sam's new place in Kincardine. It's an amazing cottage style lake house that's basically on a street with a bunch of summer homes! I cant do justice to try to describe it but i will try... massive windows (like a 30 foot ceiling!) overlooking their huge yard, just 5 minutes from the beach but also with sand dues and a river behind their yard. I love to be outside and so does my baby... we were such happy campers after that weekend!
We left for Kincardine on Saturday after our family photos. It wasn't ideal for driving because our family photos were in Port Stanley and then goober monster was car bound for over 2 hours while we made it up to Kincardine! After a mandatory stop at Shaws in Port Stanley for ice cream lunch, Goober slept for the majority of the car ride up.. or was super happy. It was such a relief because we had just switched his car seat from the baby bucket to the big seat so he wasn't used to the car seat and his little head was bobbing forward because it isnt quite as reclined. But it all worked well and we got to Kincardine just before supper time!
When we got there, we got a tour of our friends amazing place... so big and beautiful. I seriously have to note the toy room. Best toy room ever with so many stations.. dress up, jurrasic park, tool bench... you name it! Scarlett and baby William on the way are lucky kiddos! After some time playing in the ball pit (Logan loves his ball pits), we headed outside so Scarlett and Logan could play with the water table. t was such a hot day so it was a good cool off too. This is Logan getting soaked.
And Scarlett and Logan getting soaked. Logan's dress clothes from the photoshoot were mostly off by this time except his blue khaki shorts, which he drenched. But had an awesome time doing it.
We need a water table this summer for our backyard! We have a little pool but I think Logan and his many friends would have awesome playdates with a water table too. I have been keeping my eye out for used ones for slae!
These 2!! Scarlett let us know this chair is for baby William... but they could sit in it for a picture!
After some water table shenanigans, we headed inside for supper (that summer chicken salad with the assorted fruit was seriously delish!) then we couldn't wait to walk to the beach.
And it was only a 5 minute walk to the beach! I actually would like to move in with Zac and Sam for the weekends. 5 minutes from this beach and not to mention the river in their backyard (and sand dunes!). I would never be inside in the summer! Scarlett is all over it. It's basically her beach.
On this night, Logan stuck his little toes in the beach water for the first time! The baby likes him some beaching so we'll have to plan a day trip to the beach soon! We even prepared by buying a pop up tent shelter!
And Mr. Logan went down and slept pretty well that night but was up bright and early before 7am, which made us regret the last couple drinks (I think it was 1am when we went to bed. Why doesn't it seem that late when I write it here?). But the company is so good!
The next morning, we went for a little walking adventure to the nearby park where Scarlett played and bubbles were blown while Logan went down for a super late morning nap in the stroller. Normally Logan is down 1.5-2 hours after he wakes up but he was way too excited to be outside that he slept for maybe half hour in the stroller and it was after 10 when he fell asleep!
He woke up right as we got to the beach. He must have not wanted to miss it.... This is right after he woke up. Beach cuddles!
This happy boy with his toes in the sand!
And me and Sam (at 25 weeks with her little boy!). We have to get our "couple" picture taken every so often. Started at Kincardine weekend 2012!
This was such a good weekend that we basically made plans to go back while we were leaving. And Logan slept the whole 2 hours home!
