Vacation/Staycation

Last Monday, I loaded up the car & took Abby on a little road trip. 2 hours outside of Seattle you'll find a secluded lake right on the Olympic National Forest, secluded enough to have dirt roads & no cell phone service within 20 miles! Brandon had to work, so Abby & I went with B's cousin's family. It was very, very beautiful and actually relaxing. Which I didn't expect it to be, since I was traveling alone with a toddler. I have so many pictures, I don't think I'll go too much into the details of the trip. And the pics pretty much cover it. (Click on pics to make them larger)



Night before vacation

Abby & Casey chillin' on the 1st day (it was kinda chilly)





Lake Cushman





Worn out. Going home now.

 Abby & I came home Wednesday night, but still had Thursday off, so we took advantage & had a "staycation" - it was absolutely fabulous!

Starting off the morning with finger painting



Not a fan of getting dirty.



Happy to be back in her own bed.

Water fun at Children's Museum. The vest is a tad big for her.

In awe at the dinosaur exhibit.

cutest dinner date ever!

We shared - Abby ate ALL the onions!

And then I'll leave you with a couple other updates and a cute video.

Update 1: My cat is sick again. Her hip is messed up. We're monitoring her closely & if she doesn't improve by tomorrow, she'll most likely need xrays.

Update 2: Abby is a clingasauras rex ever since I went on vacation with her. She literally throws a tantrum if I leave the room. I left to run a quick errand on Sunday. Abby sat on the bottom stair, staring at the front door waiting on me. Brandon couldn't get her to move.

Update 3: I'm looking VERY pregnant. I almost get embarrassed when people ask how far along I am. Cause I feel like I look 5 months pregnant, not 3.5

And finally a video. This is awesome, cause we didn't teach abby to say "ta da!" she just randomly did it on her own. She's the cutest!!
