After Daddy left early Tuesday morning, Mommy and Madison got to play with Aunt Kristi all day Tuesday and Wednesday morning. Wednesday afternoon Mommy and Madison said goodbye to Aunt Kristi as she went to her conference in Orlando. That's when the second half of chaos began...Mommy's 10 year high school reunion weekend.
Madison had a great time playing with Gramm and Pop while Mommy ran all over town finishing up reunion planning. She also got to play with Uncle Daniel and Aunt Abby more since their honeymoon didn't leave until the weekend after the wedding. Madison LOVED playing with Abby and Daniel's new dog, 'baby' Clark- a Beagle puppy. She had great fun playing with her new train set from Pop, too. Almost everyday we added a new box of pieces to the set to make the track bigger and bigger. She thought it was great! As was the 'house' and pool in the backyard. Madison loved when Pop filled up the sink in the playhouse with water for her to splash in! Uncle Matt came back from his Boston trip at the end of the week and played with Madison for the day too. Boy does she LOVE Uncle Matt. Oh, and Uncle Daniel thought it would be cute to teach Madison 'Go Gators', which Uncle Matt of course, encouraged.
Gramm and Pop made sure Madison was well taken care of while Mommy was working on reunion events, including lots of playing with new toys (more every day it seemed!), eating 'mountains' (aka Hershey Kisses), chips, and popsicles whenever she wanted. Needless to say they enjoyed introducing Madison to all kinds of spoiling! We've added popsicles to our daily routine at home now, too. Thanks Gramm!
Gramm and Pop did introduce Madison to 'Jamba Juice' when she was at the beach- a fairly healthy habit. Now she LOVES smoothies and has one almost everyday at home. Luckily she is not picky about brands yet. We can make them at home, she calls all smoothies 'jamus juice' now.
We got to play with Madison's friend Ava who lives next door to Gramm and Pop briefly one afternoon and enjoyed playtime and lunch with our friends Kendall and Tina too! Kendall is getting a new baby brother a month or so after Madison's new baby sister arrives. Mommy and Tina took some cute pics of their bellies together. Madison also got to meet our friend Becca's new twin baby girls. We told Madison we were going to see two babies that day. After that every time we talked about babies she would ask, "Two babies?". In fact, when we talk about baby sister she asks, "Two baby sister?". We've tried to clarify only ONE baby sister. Guess that trip was a little confusing for her.
By the end of the trip Madison was exhausted and ready to get back to her real bed. She was a trooper the whole trip but lost it a few hours into the family picnic Sunday afternoon for Mommy's reunion. Mommy had to take her back to Gramm's for a big long nap. She had fun playing on the playground with some of Mommy's classmates kids and the 'baby woof' Julie (a jack russell terrier of one of my classmates) before we had to leave for nap time.
We had a great trip as usual, but VERY action packed. As always, we wished for more play time in FL with family and friends.
