Reading Week/Temple Trip

To celebrate Ryan's last reading week as a university student we decided to head out to the Regina Temple. Thankfully Ryan's Mom was willing to come and help out with Abby so we were able to go. It was definitely an adventure but well worth it. We drove out on Tuesday and Abby did amazingly well. She is turning into a pretty good traveller. When we got to the hotel we ordered some supper then headed down to the pool. Abby wasn't too sure about it because there were lot's of other kids and lot's of noise but we got a few cute pics and Ryan and I even braved the waterslide. It was pretty fun.
Now the funniest part of our trip comes the next morning. The first temple session was at 6am so Ryan's Mom and I were planning to get up at 0500 to be at the temple for 0530. So we set the alarm on the clock and attempt to go to sleep. Well poor Abby was using the hotel's play pen that had no mattress so it was really hard and she did not sleep well. Finally the alarm went off and we got ready and headed down the car. It was SO COLD!!!! When we got in the car I noticed it said 0425. I am like that's odd because there's no time change in the winter with Manitoba and Saskatchewan. We ran into the hotel and asked at the front desk and sure enough it was only 0430. AH!!!! Oh well back up to the room with my baby and then we headed off to the temple an hour later. Tired and all it was definitely worth it to make the trip. The temple is an amazing place to be.
The trip home was unadventurous and we got home safely. Now I am working on getting Abby to sleep again at night. Since she has been sick she has been waking up all the time again. Hopefully we can fix that before too long. Otherwise the bags under my eyes will permanently remain.
Lesson learned always check the clock you are setting an alarm by.
