We had so much fun in Missoula! Lily thrived on all the new experiences, and loved meeting everyone. And of course she loves it when people love her! So many firsts on this trip--first plane ride, first chocolate ice cream, first hike, first romp with older kids. Thanks to John and Denise for being such generous and caring hosts, Caroline for all the fun, Rick for making a long trek to see us, and everyone else. We hope to come back before she turns 2.
What a great Saturday! Beautiful weather. Farmers' Market first, where we met up with Steph and Martha (and Suttree). We had italian ices from Rita's, then lunch at Trio (sorry, Steph!). I got some broccoli, kale and a muffin from Green Man Farms. Then Lily and I went to the Festival of Reading. She really liked the musical entertainment--a fun song about a mosquito burrito (you had the be there!) and rolly polly worms. She was dancing on my hip in the sling and smiling! She would have been clapping if she weren't holding on to me, I think. Saw Bess on our way out. Long line of strollers waiting to take the elevator up to street level, so I was glad we had left it at home and just brought the sling. Then during her afternoon nap, I pureed the broccoli and kale for her!
We went to Greenville, SC for my cousin John's wedding, which was beautiful. Lily traveled very well. It was so great to have a vacation for the first time in a long, long while. In the bottom photo, you can see Lily eating a lemon wedge. The top photo shows Lily enjoying the balcony of the hotel. She loved crawling into the room and out of the room, taking care to not let her knees hit the threshold.
