Lexington,Ky:Day 3

ONE sunny day!
Time to swim!
My girl.
Watch me twirl!


Hello, everyone! Happy Mother's Day! Yes, I am posting this the day after while Leah sleeps. Her allergies are worse today and I am looking forward to getting her back to AZ where she can breathe again.





We had a wonderful Mother's Day, including a brunch at Joseph-Beth's Cafe. Here's a clip of Leah while we waited for our meal:

We enjoyed shopping at this amazing bookstore. Lots of Kentucky goodies to choose from and a children's section to get lost in. Afterwards, we returned to the hotel for swimming and a break. Oh, and I can't forget the umbrella that made Leah scream. While running across a parking lot in the storm, the umbrella inverted and scared Leah. She screamed so loud that I thought she had been injured. Needless to say, she now has her own umbrella. We haven't seen rain like this in a while. I guess it's because we stay out of the monsoons at home, yet the storms here look so, well, peaceful, as compared to a dust storm.

The pool is surrounded by glass, which made it kinda cool with the rain. Leah taught me all kinds of tricks. She is getting to be a good swimmer. I'll add some pics. Enjoy!

Trip to Lexington, KY:Day 1

Hello, everyone! Leah and I left for Lexington on Friday the 9th and will return on the 12th. We're traveling to Lexington to attend Kris Ziemba's graduation from UK's medical school. Congratulations, Kris!!

Daniel is taking off all 4 days to spend time with Sean and Sarah. He took us to the airport on Friday. Sarah enjoyed her first Starbucks drink (Strawberries and Cream), while Sean played with the cool airplane one of the folks at Delta gave him.

The flight was amazing. No, really. Delta has those "choose your own adventure" monitors on the back of each seat. We never cracked a book or brought out an i-pod. LOVED Juno while Leah very much enjoyed Enchanted.

Lexington was a bit rainy when we arrived. Still light out at 8:30pm, we were able to see a few of the beautiful horse farms on the way to the hotel. Leah was excited to get to the hotel. We enjoyed a pizza and coloring session together before lights out. More in the next post!
