getting ready for silver bay... & then day one!

my first wedding back from maternity leave was at my favorite place in the whole wide world... silver bay. my good friend, brendan, was getting married & i badgered him until he hired me :)

we decided to turn the trip into our first family vacation, so we flew out on the wednesday before.

here's finn helping me pack for our trip.


the flights went really well. both kids did great. finn was a pain during the layover, but that's better than the alternative! we arrived in albany around 9pm & then after getting our rental car we started the 2 hour long drive to silver bay... i love that drive.

we took our time waking up & then headed to silver bay to wander around. i love this picture.

"can finn have another cookie?" he likes to talk in the first person... it's kinda strange.

"look!"


it was such a relief to let him wander. in phoenix, we have to keep him close. we live on the corner of pretty busy street, so when we let him ride his bike it's a bit stressful. here he could stray as much as he wanted.


he tried to climb the small hill at the bottom of the chapel, but it was a bit hard. he said "it to heavy!"


a nice game of chase.

lunch at the cute hague market...

& then fun on the playground.


finn's pooping here & if we got any closer he'd say "go away."
ms. maya leigh. poor girl got a horrible heat rash the last day we were in phoenix. i had to run several errands to get ready for the trip & it was a hot day. it only got worse while we were in new york since they don't have air conditioning.

this place is my healing place.
& i love that i get to give it to my kids. & i think it's awesome that they both went so young, finn was 16 days old & maya was 41 days old.
i don't think she likes you biting her head, honey.
that's better.

ah. stay tuned for day two :)
