Tori's Vacation

Tori had a wonderful time on our trip. She was really good throughout the entire trip and took everything in stride. We stopped in Rolla our first night and went swimming in the hotel pool. Tori wasn't hesitant at all and took to the water like a fish.

She kept dunking her face in the water much to her Mom's dismay. She didn't like it a few times and choked, but kept going back in for more. You can tell she was a bit water logged by how red her eyes are in the picture. She enjoyed it all and was ready for more water in the bath when we got out of the pool. The only issue she had was trying to get her to sleep in the playpen we brought. She would have none of it, so she slept with her mama or dada alternating nights. She slept with pillows around her and never came near rolling off the bed the entire trip. She continued her waking routine during the entire trip, but let us sleep in a little bit to negate the wakings.

From Rolla, we headed to Pittsburg, Ks. To see her Great-Grandparents. Tori wasn't shy at all and took to them immediately. She found a 'T' pillow she liked and took off with it right away.

She also walked down the long hallway several times, went on the swinging chairs with Grandma a bunch and behaved really well while we were there.

Tori also got a phone from Grandma when we went shopping. She knew what to do with it right away and has played with it quite a bit. We eventually left and headed off to Brookfield, Mo to see Grandpa Lanny.

Tori had a good time there as well. She played every where we went. She even helped Grandpa Lanny clean the dust off tables and the TV with her slobber. Tori also got to see Maxie and play in the park.

If you look close enough, you can even see Grandpa Lanny in the background. This is the only picture we were able to get of him. Tori also visited with Uncle Travis, Aunt Diane and Cousin Tyler. Tori and Tyler liked the same toys, so they got along well.

I don't think Tyler was too pleased with being squished by the bread in this cousin sandwich. Other than that, they all got along well.

After our visit, we headed home. Tori pretty much stayed on schedule the entire trip. I think teething and the trip caught up to her last night since she fell asleep at 6:30 and got up at 10 for 2 hours of playing before going back to bed. She seems eager and able to go on another vacation soon.
