That night we were woken up by Ry soon after we were asleep. I'm not sure why he woke up, but he did. I got him to sleep again multiple times, but he didn't want to stay asleep when I laid him down. He was up from about 11:30 to 2. It was a LONG night for me. He finally went back to sleep, and I was able to get some sleep in before he got up.
Saturday morning we all headed out to trade days. It's basically a flea market with some homemade craft type items. I bought a new overnight case and a cart with bag for upcoming craft shows. After that, we headed back to the house with some lunch from Nell's burgers. Beth and I put together some pizza dough for dinner that night too. Once Ryker was down for his nap...Nick and I napped too. We really needed it. Beth and I left after my nap to check out an ice cream parlor/antique type shop in the neighboring town. It was a pretty cool place. I bought a couple gifts in there and some wax for my wax warmers. We also stopped at Dollar Tree and Wal-Mart on our way back to the house. Beth prepared an amazing pizza for dinner, and we all had dinner together. Beth gave Ryker a bath after dinner, and Nick and I worked on making Ryker more comfortable that night. We made sure the bedroom we were staying in was cooler and that the pack and play had some extra padding (we used an exercise mat). We really wanted Ry to sleep better that night. Beth, Nick, and I played dominoes after Ry was down, and it was very fun. I don't remember ever playing that particular game, and I hadn't played dominoes in ages.
Luckily, Ry only woke up once, and I rocked him right back to sleep. Sunday morning we were up early to get ready to attend church with Beth. The church was a lot bigger than I expected. Livingston is such a small town, and I wasn't expecting that big of a place. I decided I would let Ryker go to the nursery. Man...it was SO hard to leave him with someone he doesn't know in a place he didn't know. All the babies are assigned a badge when you check them in, and they will flash your child's number on the screen in the church if you need to come check on or get your child. I was worried most of the time about what Ry was doing and how he was doing in there. The church service was about an hour and 40 minutes, which is definitely longer than I am used to, but it was nice. I enjoyed it, and I was very happy to go get Ryker afterwards from the nursery. Once we were back to Beth's house, we finished packing and had lunch before we headed back home during naptime.
It was a good trip, and we all enjoyed it. Even the dogs had fun, and I know Beth did. We plan on going back in a couple months. Maybe Derek and Amy can join us then. :0
Ry loves playing in this chair when we visit.
Beth has SO many animals that come eat in her backyard. These squirrels were eating birdseed off the ground.
BLUEJAYS!
