After being on the go over the long weekend, we decided to spend Wednesday at home.
Such a happy baby after her morning nap!
Cora's first time in the exersaucer! She loved looking around at all of us. Thanks, Nana, for getting it wiped down for her to use.
Such a sweet big brother!
Here is a cute video of Amelia getting Cora to smile at dinner...
I was watching the kids and Nana from Dylan's window. They were having fun trying to keep away from Nana. I think she got her workout!
We went out to dinner on Wednesday. Amelia wore her Dorothy costume, complete with braids and sparkly red shoes. Wouldn't it be fun to be 3 again?
On Thursday, we went to Bath. I found that no matter what time of day, no matter what day of the week, there is always traffic in Bath! The 25 minute trip took closer to 45 after all of the traffic. We ended up taking the double decker tour bus since it was pouring down rain. Bath has the closest "real" stores for shopping. With three kids and a rainy day, we only made it to 2 stores. I do not remember how long it took us to get home, but it felt like FOREVER, especially with a baby who was hungry and kids who needed to go to the bathroom. There are no places to even pull over and stop in the city, and even if there were, we were not even moving. We talked about taking the train into Bath next time to avoid the traffic.

I've got her, Mom.
Poor Dylan came down with a stomach bug which left us home on Friday. I was able to do a few quick errands with NO KIDS, so that was a treat for me. On Saturday, we took Nana to Lacock Village.
They waited patiently as we changed Cora...outfit #2 already and we had just arrived!
Harry Potter was filmed at the Abbey (in background)
The little shops were very unique. This one has products made from wool.
People still live in this village...even with the small doors!
Time for a treat from the Lacock Bakery
Signing the guest book and enjoying our bakery treats
Notice the cushions hanging in the pews. This was what they used before kneelers.
Fun at the playground!
Sweet Cora watching the kids on the playground
Their favorite time of the night...books!
Nana got to know many of their favorite books and characters including Pinkalicious and Franklin.
Planting flowers with Nana
Riding bikes again
Watching the big kids ride bikes. Look at those blue eyes!
We walked to McDonald's and enjoyed dinner and ice cream with Nana.
Oh it's never easy to say goodbye. We truly had such a great time with Nana here. She saw the kids' schools, went to church with us and got a little feel for our life here in Chippenham. We had 10 days of fun and laughs, and then the tears came when we said goodbye. At least we will see her again in just 3 more weeks.
Thanks for a great visit, Nana! We love you!
