A Hazy, Lazy Day
I woke up this morning quite literally in a haze, in more ways than one. The cold I’ve been fighting since last week seems to have re-emerged as a sore throat. It’s the kind that feels like you’re swallowing glass every time you take a drink of something. Not fun.
We were planning on heading to Wonderland, but by the time we got things together, we realized that maybe it was not such a good idea. The temperature with the humidex was 43 degrees celcius! As well there was such a haze in the air, Mackenzie and I found it difficult to breathe. So after spending the morning on the computer, and almost falling asleep at it, I took a well needed nap. Yes this is me napping. Andrew thought it would be funny to get a photo of me being lazy on this hazy day!
I ended up getting abruptly woken, but not by the kids, it was loud thunder and then a torrential downpour! The resort is on the backside of a golf course, it was so funny seeing all of the golf carts zooming over the course seeking shelter. The boys enjoyed watching the rain through the window, but really wanted to go out onto the balcony.
Since it was late afternoon now, we decided just to take advantage of some of the resort amenities. Once the rain stopped we took a walk down to the Carriage House Pool and playground, the kids played for a bit while I sported Finn on my back on the flip side of the BabyHawk. I love the fact that it is reversible, so it’s essentially 2 carriers in one!
We ended up having a great time at the pool, Finn loves being in the mesh water sling (Thank you Sarah!) Andrew and the kids played and splashed while I dunked Finn a few times, he’s becoming quite the little water baby. It’s so cute how he instinctually kicks his legs like a little frog.
After our pool adventures, I decided make use of the resort’s barbeques they have on site for dinner. I whipped up some chipotle steaks for Andrew and bacon wrapped filet mignon for myself. The kids, what else? …Hot dogs! I had Andrew keep an eye on some corn on the cob while I BBQ’d the meat, unfortunately I turned on the wrong burner, so we had to wait a little longer for it. I don’t know why it’s such a hard concept, but I’m always turning on the wrong burners! It was a delicious meal. I’m definitely going to do some more BBQ’ing next week in Pennsylvania!
I spent the evening getting caught up on laundry, as I’m going to start getting things packed up early. This time I’m going to remember to take out clothes for the day for the kids! Well I’m off to bed early tonight so we can get up bright and early for Wonderland tomorrow!
