Sam's mom and her mom and all of their combine sisters try to get together once a year for a retreat. They call it "Quilt Week" and they basically just quilt and sew and crochet and knit until they can barely move their fingers, then they eat treats and good food, and swim, and hike and then repeat it all for a whole week. We were lucky enough to get invited to this fun filled week this year. I couldn't swing getting work off the whole week, but I was able to make it up there for one day.
The event isn't really meant for two year olds, so Hayes was a bit like a bull in a china shop (or a toddler in a condo full of pins and needles and sewing machines). So, we swam and ate treats and played outside. Hayes was a trooper considering this was his third trip in a matter of a week and probably his 10th hour in the car. He LOVED the pool. At the place they were staying they had a kiddie pool that was just one foot deep and it was pretty big. I bought him a blow up toy and a beach ball to play with. He really loved playing with grandma, aunts, and his cousin Sebastian, who he calls "Basty". Hayes was EXHAUSTED by the end and even fell asleep in my arms!! I was floored! He never does that! All in all I was really glad we could go and so grateful to them for including us!
