Canada Eh!

 

So Sadie and I went on a roadtrip with Jeremy's family last week. Jeremy stayed home. He is very frugal with his vacation days. I am not sure what he is saving them for. Jerm's mom drove Lyndsay (his sister), Abigail (his neice) Sadie & I to Buffalo New York Wednesday night after I got off work. We stayed in a hotel (with air conditioning, you will understand that important detail later). We got up the next morning and dropped off Lyndsay to get her same day passport. We went to the Buffalo Zoo because we couldn't pick up the passport until 3pm. The zoo was pretty neat. We then began the long drive up to Erinsville Ontario. We ran into Toronto traffic so it was a long drive. We did stop at service station and Sadie had Starbucks. Starbucks was the only place that had whole milk for her night time bottle and we weren't close enough to the cabin at that point. Starbucks even steamed it for her. She loved it! I have never seen her drink a bottle so fast. We got to the cabin and it was a record high of over 100 degrees. The cabin doesn't have air conditioning. I didn't know that. Imagine a closed up car in 100 degree weather. Yup that is what it felt like. I wanted to take Sadie and sleep in the car with the air on. (The other days we did end up driving Sadie around in the air conditioning so she could drink her bottles and fall asleep). She basically was in a diaper the entire time. It did get cold around 2am until about 10am. So there was a break from the heat. Anyway Jerm's stepdad Mark and his mom Shirly were all ready at the cabin. The cabin sits on a lake. It was beautiful! We went swimming and played in the sand. Sadie is in the phase where she wants to put everything in her mouth. We had to stop playing in the sand because she was eating the sand and the rocks. Yuck! Mark and Abby went fishing.It was Abby's first time and she caught like 20 fish. She did great! We went and got ice cream. They had Rollo ice cream. It was yummy.  And bought weird potato chip flavors like roasted chicken and onion rings with ketchup. Those weren't as yummy. The drive back Sunday went pretty fast, no Toronto traffic and Sadie slept a lot of it. Prob from lack of sleep due to the heat and because she walked everywhere. We made it back into the states after Sadie stared down the Border Protection guy. Hey if you don't smile at my daughter,she won't smile at you. I laughed outloud. Thanks Megan and Mark for having us. Mark and his family have been going to that cabin for 53 years.
