20 Months

Where has our baby gone? We have a fun & wild little toddler on our hands. Life has been busy chasing her around & going on daily adventures. It sure is amazing seeing everything through her eyes. It all seems magical, fascinating & new! 

Favorite activities are: building towers, helping in the kitchen & sitting on the counter, feeding the ducks, exploring in nature & reading books. I should also add in eating. Non-stop eating around here! We've had our ups & downs with tantrums. For the most part well behaved. We were late for our 18 month check-up but we are in good health & weighing in at 25lbs, in the 95th percentile for height. We couldn't be more proud!

Whistler Vacation

We always try to escape the "winter blues" in these dark, grey & wet months. Usually they lead us somewhere hot & sunny but this year we decided wanted  an actual winter vacation. The thought of flying with a toddler was enough to make me want to stay home. Avery had been showing so much interest in snow & snowmen that we decided on Whistler, BC. Whistler is also known to be very kid friendly. We booked a great one bedroom condo through Airb BNB in the heart of the village. 

With just a short drive (about an hour) from Horseshoe Bay to Whistler. We settled in our modern condo & strolled through the village. So much to do! People watch, grab a coffee, restaurants, the Olympic Park. It was just what we wanted! 





The highlight of our trip was most definitely snow shoeing. There was no one on the trail, except for a movie set as they were filming Planet of the Apes. We towed Avery in her sled & we trekked through the trails with the snow falling. Chris & I could have spent all day out there, Avery had other plans such as napping. 








We're already looking forward to our next adventure in the mountains! Next time we will stay a bit longer & take in more attractions.
