Cabin Time!!!

Jack and I left on Wednesday afternoon for our cabin after lunch and my mom came with us (Tom and Bailey came up the following afternoon). I was extremely nervous for the 3.5 hour long car ride and I was hoping that by going over naptime would really help us out. To my surprise Jack was awesome in the car. He napped for the first half and the last half I kept him entertained by singing, playing peek-a-boo and bribing him with weird gadgets and toys. We had to make a quick stop at Target in Grand Rapids, and Jack enjoyed running like crazy man through the entire store.

The next thing I was super nervous about was bedtime and napping at the cabin in his pack n play. Since we live so close to both of our parents, Jack has been spoiled and he rarely spends the night anywhere else than his crib. The first night I put him down to bed, he cried for a while - but soon fell asleep and slept until 8:30 the next morning. We had a fan blowing in his room so that it would drown out some of the noise. From that point on - Jack napped every day for at least an hour and a half and went to bed every night around 7 PM. We only had one early morning where he woke up at 6:30.

We couldn't have asked for better weather up there. It was so hot and sunny Wed, Thurs and Fri. Saturday was the only gloomy day - but you have to have one lazy day when you are up north, right? It was so nice to be up there. Last year, Jack was only 6 months and he wasn't even crawling - so this year was so different, as I'm sure next year will be (with a 2 1/2 year old and a 6 month old....HOLY CRAP). Oh speaking of our second child - Tom is obsessed with the name Finn if it's a boy. Please leave your comments about that name. I'm not sharing my opinion about it as I want to hear what YOU all have to say about it :-)
