One More Day
Tags:Anna and I ended up spending an extra day in Charlotte after our flight to Denver was canceled (after sitting on the plane for close to an hour). Lucky for us my sister was able to come back to the airport and we happily got to spend another whole day with family.
The last few days have been great. Getting to watch these two babies (just a month apart) interact and experience the world was so cool. Getting to do it all with my sister was even better.
On Thursday we got to go to swimming lessons with Jessica & Gabrielle (they go to this great little warm water pool that is just for lessons) and then have a play date at a fun bookstore with a couple of her friends.
On Friday I spent some time at Inspired and Jessica took the girls to the park for a picnic, a ride in a wagon, and some playtime.
I think they really liked the wagon ride.
And then yesterday, after our flight was canceled, we headed back to Jessica's for a rest and then took off for dinner and some time at the park.
This time Anna decided she was ready to head into the water.
And she really loved it. Totally soaked. Totally happy.
We'll be attempting to make our way home again today.
What it really makes me wish for is to live closer to either of my siblings and their families.

I'm glad you were able to spend an extra day with your sister! Right now my parents have a child in each time zone! Thankfully we get together for a week in the summer so the 11 cousins (all age 9 and under) can play.

Love the photos of Anna playing in the water! She looks like she was really having the time of her life.
Great Wonder Woman t-shirt! Suits her perfectly.
Have a safe trip back homeward.

Awww, this is making me miss my sister even more! She moved away from us in January and she is the best sis and aunt! Boo. Anyways, in the picture with the girls at the picnic, where are those flower shaped trays from? I have been looking for something like that, and they are adorable!!

We're so far from my siblings, too (far from my parents, too) and it's so fun when we can get together. I'm looking forward to uniting with 3 out of 4 of my siblings next month!

Here is a link to the dishes we used for the picnic http://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/7320641/?catalogId=68&bnrid=3180501&cm_ven=Shopping&cm_cat=Froogle&cm_pla=default&cm_ite=default
They're especially great because they have a lid!

Oregon is a reaaaalllly long way from the Carolinas, isn't it? My sis lives in Oregon and it seems a long way from me, here on the East Coast, too.
Diggin' that Wonder Woman t-shirt! I was a WW Junkie as a little girl.

Totally hear you Ali!!! I'm so happy that I live within a five minute drive of my brother and his family.
Heard you on paperclipping with Tim Holtz. Great show! Loved everyone's take on vintage.

I love this post, Ali. I lived in Phoenix and my closest girl cousins lived in Chicago. We went back every summer to visit. We stayed close through so much but I do know my mom really missed her sisters.
You can hop a plane any time. Just do it.

So sorry about your flight cancellation. I was successful in getting from Charlotte to Tampa but the Tampa to Denver flight got cancelled! Made for a very long day I was luckily traveling alone (no little kiddos with me) so it was survivable. Glad you got the extra day with your family
