Henry says a sentence

Yesterday Henry said a full sentence:

"More...cookie...please"

So typical that something about a cookie would be his first sentence.  He uses the word "a" as a filler usually.  "A mo' a cookie?"

Home Time. Waahhhhhh

I am writing this post more than a month later and my thought about leaving is still WAHHHHHH...

Of course the day we were leaving was sunny and beautiful out.  We decided to pack up as quick as we could to enjoy the park for a while before going to the airport.  While we were at the park Henry finally decided to go down the slide even though he wouldn't do it the entire 2 weeks we were there. 

When we arrived at the airport we were informed our flight was 4 hours delayed.  Yay.  Fun times.  Luckily the airport has multiple stores of Disney and Universal studios shopping. Everyone was ok and Henry had a good nap in his stroller.  He probably wouldn't have even slept on the plane, so at least he was well rested when we finally got on. 

Everyone was sad and didn't want to leave. I felt bad for Henry too as he had no clue it was colder than -30 at home. The little guy had definitely gotten used to having tons of outdoor time.  When we got back the car was ice cold and Mike warmed it up for a long time and installed all of the car seats.  By the time we were on the road everyone was exhausted and all the kids fell asleep.  They never even ate dinner, and only picked away at stuff all day, but they were so tired. The unfortunate thing was that all of the grocery stores were closed and the next day was family day so we had no food at all.  I stocked up on a bit of stuff from Shoppers and we called it a night! Poor mike had to go to bed and wake up early to fly to San Francisco the next morning.

So that's a condensed version of our trip! We want to go back again soon.  We're home sick and winter is not letting up over here...

More fun!

A few more days of fun! On a particularly cold day we did some shopping the outlet mall, and then had some outdoor time at the park in the afternoon. 

Wearing all the warm clothes.  Double jackets.

Making a wish and releasing a latern.

Game rental from the main activity centre.

Mermaid tails!! Paige got the hang of it really quickly, and it appeared to be a good workout.  Rose had to wear her puddle jumpers as she's not a strong enough swimmer yet.  The girls got so many comments on the tails while they were swimming.  In the photo below it is actually really cold outside! The pool is super warm, but it was definitely a day where i was begging them to go in the hot tub!

On our last night we went to get hot chocolate, as it mentioned in the activities calendar that they were selling hot chocolate at night.  When we got there we realized there was also popcorn and an outdoor movie! It was Valentine's day so Lady and The Tramp was playing.  There were a few families there, but most were wimps about the colder weather.
