The entire time we were in Yahk, Greta was being held. She got set down to have her diaper changed or to take a nap, but other than that she was being held. And she never cried. She was perfectly well behaved because she was being held. Greta was in baby heaven. I love seeing how much my family loves my children. It's one of my favourite parts about visiting.

As per tradition, we drove to Twin Lakes Bay on the Kootenay. But unlike previous years, it was cold and the mosquitoes came in flocks and ate us alive. We held out for maybe an hour before my complaining and the mosquitoes finalized our decision to head back. The only saving grace was the delicious homemade oreos we brought along. And the pictures I took.

My parents have this great mini electric scooter. Holly loved riding on it with her aunts although her expression says otherwise.

We celebrated Holly's second birthday while in Yahk. She was so much fun. She loved her gifts and her classic worms in dirt cake. She loved the attention. She's the sweetest two-year old ever. She's so much fun and full of energy. She's kind and caring. She's the best big sister. I'm so glad Holly's my daughter!

Three days after moving into our apartment in California, we climbed back into the car and drove the 20+ hours to Yahk, BC. It was kind of brutal, but I was really looking forward to having some R'n'R with my family. It was so nice to spend time with them. I loved it, the girls loved it! I'll be posting pictures of our trip this week. First off, my little water baby spent a ton of time playing in my mom's galvanized laundry tub. She loved it. Holly's so stinking cute.
