Our third camping trip this year was at Mount Kidd again. This time, we went with Mamie and Pepere. The weather was great and good news, the pool was open! Our first day there went well. We spent some time at the pool, went for a bike ride (my first of the summer, finally!), played some frisbee and visited.
However, having the world's worst teething child, we headed home a day early. Sophie has been working on her two-year-old-molars (yes, they are still not out...I look in her mouth every night with a flashlight to see little to no progress) for months now and it can cause her to have trouble sleeping (no surprise there, she has never been a good sleeper). She spent the second night tossing, turning, calling out and crying, and because we were in such close quarters, we were all up to hear it. Unfortunately, this meant Mom, Dad and Sophie were tired and cranky the next day so we decided to just pack up and go.
The following weekend we had some very special visitors. My brother, Dan, his wife, Tina, and my niece, Madeleine, came to Calgary for a night. It had been a very long time since we had all seen each other. I was really excited to see Sophie and Madeleine together. They got along famously. Being so close in age, they seemed to understand each other and play on the same level. Madeleine will be a big sister as well in November, which is wonderful news. We hope that once all our kids are older and a bit easier to travel with, we will get to see them more often.
