Hello Rooooaaaaddd Trip!Yes sirs and ma'ams....this morning we piled into the Subaru and headed out on Arlo's first road trip. It felt great to be out of the house and heading somewhere further than 1 kilometer away. It was also a good test to see if three adults could squeeze into our car with the obstacle of two car seats...and yes we can.
So we headed to Kitchener where we:
1. Ordered a lovely gown for the Rodway/Hains wedding. {Where my body parts were measured...I mean is there anything crueler than measuring a woman's body two weeks after giving birth? Is there? Is there? No.}
2. Went to a toy store to seek out a Garbage Truck to buy at a later date for Hugh's Birthday. {Is there anything crueler than finding a very cool Garbage Truck and then telling a soon-to-be 3 year old that they will have to wait until their Birthday to play with it? Yes, measuring a woman's body two weeks after giving birth.}
3. Ate at Swiss Chalet {we missed you Dad}
4. Drove back to toy store...bought a Garbage Truck and gave it to a watery eyed soon-to-be 3 year old. Man, we're suckers.
Did Arlo enjoy his first Road Trip? Most definitely. He felt it to be extremely relaxing...so much so he couldn't muster enough energy to open his wee eyes for the entire outing!

After returning home, I sat on the front porch with Hugh and made teeny tiny garbage bags while he piled them in to his new toy truck.... 
while practicing his new 'camera' smile {this is hilarious stuff!}. 
Nana, David and Arlo soon joined us...and Arlo decided to open his eyes...for a record time of: 1 hour!!! Woo-hoo!
