Easter weekend

Cuddling up with the cousins

My parents came to visit for the long weekend and they had their hands full. Alan and I had planned our first 2 night getaway, so Greg and Linda were going to watch Caleb for us. It turned out Adam and Angela were also in Halifax, so they dropped off Aly and Ava for the weekend and my parents got to spend Easter weekend with all three of their grandkids.

Alan and I had a cottage rented in the Annapolis Valley and we were so excited to spend some time together and get some much needed rest and relaxation. The first 20 minutes of our vacation was great, until we had to pull over on the side of the highway when Alan started feeling sick. It turned out the dreaded stomach flu also decided to join us on our romantic getaway! We did end up getting lots of sleep, and thankfully I had lots to read, so we made the best of our time away.

Back home, my parents were having a great time. Caleb loved having his cousins here to play with and he even slept for 11 hours straight one night. Unfortunately, Aly was the one who woke up in the middle of the night, also sick with the flu. We thought Ava was going to be ok, until on she was sick in the car on the drive back to Fredericton. Blah. So it didn't turn out to be quite the weekend everyone had hoped for, but it is one we will surely remember...and it must mean that Alan and I get another weekend away soon. And next time we'll stay up past 8:30!!
