The One Where We Stay Out Past Our Bedtimes

Saturday, September 12

Today was the day when we got to see Rob + Vicky + Ava. Vicky went back to work this past week and Ava was starting in daycare, so it really didn't work to see them before this weekend - which is a total shame, because we always have a great time with them.

We met up a little later in the afternoon than we'd originally planned due to an accident on Highway 1 between us and them (between our two locations, not our two vehicles). Once we arrived, we changed the girlies into their bathing suits and set out for the splash park - with pit stops at Starbucks for Vicky + Lindsay, 7-11 for Geoff + Rob, and Rob's sister's house so we could quickly say hi and see their kids.

Ava loved the splash park. Briony was more than a little unsure. The water was super cold and she was a little bit tired. She was much happier when we settled her on a blanket *near* all the splashing and gave her some Cheerios :)

Back at Rob + Vicky's place, the girls played together - not as well as in Victoria, just because of the super active and curious stage they're in right now - and had a few epic battles over the coolest toys. They ate dinner and then had a bath together while Geoff + Rob went to go pick up our grown-up dinner (sushi... YUM). The girls were hilarious in the tub. No amount of splashing seemed to phase them, and you could tell that it was a total treat for both of them to have another baby to play with in there.

Our lovely young ladies went to bed while we had dinner and played cards until probably too late. I always freak out a little bit when we have to mess with Briony like we did this evening - putting her to bed in one place, moving her to her carseat, then transferring her again at home. I should probably worry less, because it didn't really bother her at all. There was not a single tear, and she slept half an hour later than usual this morning. Which just all kind of added to it being a truly great evening :)
