Our fun continues.
As we had caught an early ferry, once in Nanaimo we did a bit of shopping at Costco and then the mall before having lunch at Driftwood Restaurant which has a delicious Chinese Buffet.
Once done we headed to Jason and Kristi's. Jason installed Amelia's carseat and we headed over to her daycare to pick her up and take her to the lake. She was happy to see us. We were home by 2 pm.
It was kind of hard to unpack with her underfoot, so other than unloading the car into the house it was "playtime". First up was filling her pool for the sundeck and adding hot water. She was happy to play there for an hour or so. It was quite hot outside so we stayed under the umbrellas outside before coming inside at dinner time.
Warming up after the swimming pool.

Saturday morning after a good night's sleep by everyone, Amelia was up and running at 6:30 am.
After some cereal, Amelia and Papa went outside so Amelia could ride her scooter while I got dressed and start breakfast, eggs and sausages with toast. Papa says she goes really fast. lol
After getting dressed, next up was going to the Duck Pond Park

Putting on her sunscreen. |
With no water shoes she will have to swim off the dock. We put a outdoor mat down to prevent slivers. First up a snack and playtime before swimming with Grandma.

Watching the TV screen showing all the flavours lol. |
I taught her how to go down the stairs by herself, how to hold onto the stairs and then kick her feet. She also had to hold her pool noodle and float. She did really well. By next year she will be jumping off the dock herself.
Another good night's sleep and we were all up at 6:30 am. Lots of playing with Papa and only able to ride her scooter in the house as we have no shoes. lol

Don't take my picture Grandma! |
After breakfast Papa carried her to the car and we headed to Nanaimo. She was happy to see her parents and her puppy Olaf. After walking through Kristi's garden, we decided to take them out for lunch .... back at the Driftwood, Amelia's favourite. It actually started to sprinkle and was a very cloudy day. The car works well taxiing the whole family at once. lol After lunch we dropped them off and headed home.
Ray and I arrived at 2 pm and after putting a few things away, decided to sit outside on the front driveway as it was still fairly cloudy and windy on the lakeside. My gardens are blooming and are looking great.
Awww...such a fun time with Amelia! So nice you have the lake on these hot days!
ReplyDeleteMan, she is getting so big! You two are going to need a week of rest and relaxation now!
