We recently had a vacation - President's Week. Penelope was able to enjoy 24 hr/day milk buffet for 9 whole days, and Matt and I took the opportunity to take a family vacation and visit friends in Humboldt. We stayed in Manila with Carlos and Miranda (thanks again for the awesome hospitality!), and had a great time.
Penelope played in the sand for the first time. I'm not sure if she loved it, but she was definitely amused by it. I kept waiting for her to eat it, but she never did. I found a sweet spot on the beach for her to play - right next to a huge old-growth stump. She played with the sand and climbed on the stump and had a great time watching Stella and Trinity play.
Matt and I left Penelope for the first time and went to the Swedish hot tubs at Cafe Mokka - it was sooooooooooooooo hard, at first. The whole way to the tubs we felt wrong leaving her - even though we felt safe that Miranda was watching her. Pretty much as soon as our feet hit the water, our fear and anxiety evaporated, the water was super hot and relaxing. We didn't dawdle though after our time was up, we definitely missed Penelope and were ready to get back to her. We were greeted with an adorable sight when we walked into the house - Penelope was fast asleep on Miranda's chest. Such an adorable sight! Miranda, thanks again for watching her and also being so patient with all the advice and info we threw at you about watching her.
Overall, it was a wonderful trip. We were able to visit with friends we haven't seen in a long time and also enjoy time together as a family without the stresses of life (i.e. jobs).
Here's a little video of her being adorable the other night.
