We arrived in time for supper on Monday .....mmmm ribs and yummy potato casserole and blueberry desert - it was so yummy! After putting the kids to bed, we chatted and chatted and chatted, catching up on all the happenings of life since summer.
Tuesday morning we decided to go for a walk/hike in a local park. The weather was sunny and warm - perfect for a walk outdoors.
Here's Myra enjoying a little freedom before being set in the stroller. She fell asleep almost immediately and slept for the duration of our walk.
Cute, cute Kai! He finally surrendered to sleep in the last 5 minutes of our walk but of course woke up the moment we got in the car - :D
We came home for lunch and naps and then when the kids were awake we packed up for another fun adventure in a nearby water park.
After changing back into dry clothes, we drove into Columbus and had the best Greek food and later ice cream that Tim and I have ever had. It was delicious!
The next day we enjoyed a yummy breakfast out, did some shopping for picnic goodies, had lunch and naps and then packed up to go on a tour of a famous Ohio Cavern. Being in the cavern was kind of cool but mostly I was distracted trying to keep a curious, independent toddler from walking and touching everything. Needless to say there was a lot of frustrated crying and squirming coming from Myra's direction making the 45 minute tour feel VERY long. At least we got some good pictures :D
Then after enjoying our yummy picnic in a nearby park, we said good bye to our friends and drove home. :(
Now, it might be an unfortunate coincidence but I think enjoying water parks equals catching a bad cold. At the end of the summer in BC, Myra caught a cold (her only cold while we were there). The three days prior to this we had enjoyed a water park or sprinkler or something each day. This week on Friday, Myra suddenly started sneezing and oozing rivers of snot in the process - we were in water parks on Sunday and Tuesday, and on Wednesday Myra played in a small stream in the park. So I'm not sure but it seems that 3 days of outdoor water fun, specifically water park fun, results in Myra being sick. Poor kid - this one is a doozy! She tries to drink but has to keep taking breaks to breathe cause her nose is all plugged up. Same with sucking her soother - I feel so sorry for her when I know all she wants to do is relax and sleep but she can't breathe normally and then has a coughing fit and wakes herself up. I also think her eye teeth are making their way up adding to fun.
So this morning Myra and I went for a breakfast date to Panera's to celebrate the lack of sleep and the inevitable sharing of germs. :-) Hoping my symptoms will be mild and that the Advil will help her out and not make her hyper in the process.
And finally, a random picture of Myra cuddling her doll - just cause she's cute. :D
Hope you have an enjoyable Sunday however you choose to spend it :D
Until next time....

Such great pics. Glad you had a great visit with Marty and Hannah and Kai, he's so cute in that sleeping picture. That waterpark looks so fun, I'm pretty sure Jotham wouldn't like it though :). Hope Myra gets better soon, Jotham's been lacking in sleep lately too, but now has 4 top teeth. Love you and miss you.
Thanks for blogging!!!!

I like that the string that holds the doll's head in place is sticking out the sleeper. I like that you and Myra went on a breakfast date - despite not feeling good. I like that you have such great pictures and good friends. And I really like you. Missing you three!
