Clara had her first overnight adventure with Adam's parents last week. She had a blast. Adam, Owen and I drove to Hideaway last Friday to spend some time with Granny, Papa and Great Ga-Ga and to bring Clara home.
Here are a few pictures from our quick trip...
While we were there, we stopped by the local peach orchard to pick peaches. (Here is a link to the pictures from last year - can't believe I was 15 weeks pregnant when we went last August!) Unfortunately, we were about a week early so we weren't able to pick but everybody took time to explore the orchard for a while (well, minus Owen and myself - it was entirely too hot for him!)
Clara was in great spirits and excited to go home after a jam-packed, fun-filled couple of days. Clara is pass the point that she falls asleep in the car. We thought we would just do an early bedtime. When we got home she wanted to watch a show. She sat on the couch and this is what happened...
Now, Clara is nearly three and a half years old. She has NEVER fallen asleep in front of the television, nor does she just fall asleep anywhere. She has always been a light sleeper. I can actually count the number of times she has fallen asleep on our couch - THREE! One time she just had surgery and still had anesthetic still in her system, the second time she was really sick, and this was the third time! I don't know what Granny and PaPa did, but we could not stir her.
I turned her show off and turned on something else, turned all the lights on, played with Owen right next to her, he screamed literally two feet from her head, we poked her, talked to her, tickled her - you name it. She would not wake up. Finally about three hours later we must have hit a good nerve when we mentioned food - dinner. She woke up!
