We went down to Lake Stevens in Washington for Aquafest and it was a lot of fun! Last year when we went we had just found out that we were expecting...it's amazing how much Violet has grown in one short year. She was bit fussy on the trip and I think it's because she's getting to an age where she realizes she's in a different environment. On the Saturday night Luke and I tried to get her to sleep for a good two hours. In the end we put her playpen in the huge closet and that seemed to do the trick. It seems easier to get her to fall asleep when it's dark and there are few visual distractions.
One of the highlights from the weekend was watching my friend Jess's little girl, Ella, experiencing new things like speed boats, ferris wheels, fireworks and cotton candy. The world through the eyes of a two and half year old....amazing!
