Two weekends ago we made a last minute trip to Parksville so I could attend one of my dearest friends stagette. This was going to be one of my first trips away from the kids but the week prior to my departure was miserable for all of us. Claire & Rhys had their 18 month immunizations on the Monday and they were really sick for most of the week which meant lousy sleep for all of us. It would have been so difficult for Jimmy to be alone dealing with two screaming babies in the middle of the night so we decided it was best if we all went to Parksville and rented a cabin. I could attend the stagette and still be available to help Jimmy for bath time and bedtime.

Our cabin was close to the beach entrance so while I was off celebrating with the girls Jimmy bravely ventured out onto the sand and had some fun with Claire & Rhys. The trip was a great success and as a bonus the kids slept through the night 🙂
