another walk in the woods

On Saturday morning we decided to take another walk. Once again we strapped her on Daddy's back and took off. She was pretty quiet this time, just looking all around, but before too long I looked back and realized she was asleep! It wasn't her naptime, but she can't tell time, so she must've thought it was time. It was so funny to watch her head bobbing up and down and side to side, with every step that Daddy took. She slept for probably the last 20 minutes of the walk. Then we went into the nature center, just because we hadn't been there in awhile and wanted to see what was there. She was asleep when we walked in, but she woke up before too long--maybe because Daddy stopped walking. So we got her out and she got to look at the fish in the fishtank, a turtle, a toad, lots of stuffed birds, and some huge pinecones. Mostly she enjoyed going up to the other little girl in the nature center and touching her. She enjoys touching other kids. Like I've said before, she's very social.

Saturday afternoon we drove down to my cousin's graduation party in the southern part of the state. It was the longest 2 hour car ride we've ever taken, I think. She wouldn't nap, like we thought she would, and screamed instead. The ride back was a bit better, but not much. What was the difference between this trip and the last trip up to my brother's wedding? I'll never know.

Next week we're going on a business trip with Daddy! We're going up to the lake and staying at a lodge there while Daddy does his work during the days. We'll get to hang out at the pool--I hope she likes it--and on the beach. Hopefully she won't eat all of the sand on the beach and others can enjoy playing on it, too, but I wouldn't put it past her! I'm nervous about her sleeping, but hoping she'll do as well as she did on our last hotel stay. We shall see!
