One More Day
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.
wonderful photos Ali! I too wish I lived closer to my siblings...

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

Now you have gone and done it! I am at work (a bit bored too) and you have given me a AH! moment ... that I can't do anything about! I am going to make canvases for our walls ... one with the number '5' (I have three boys) and one using K's that I have collected (though I don't have many unfortunately ... but I will just add to it as I get some!)
so I guess you are my inspiration?
And really I am NOT a stalker, I just love your style!

Such sweet little faces; just two peas in a pod. Sorry that you don't live closer together. Thrilled you stopped in and said hello at Inspired. mac

Hi Ali,
Luv these shots!
Where did you find the cute flower snack trays that the girls are using on the picnic blanket.
They are such a unique idea!
