This was a huge relief because she started the day quite early and after being awake about 10 minutes, she suddenly became the saddest, grumpiest, most emotionally fragile baby I have ever dealt with...in 6 years of parenting. Seriously, she was very upset and nothing would calm her down--not even a hand-held show on the iTouch :) It was really sad. And discouraging when we had so much work to do cleaning and packing after our long stay. Joseph and I had to take turns cuddling and soothing her so at least one of us could be working--slowed us down big time. But I learned to feel more gratitude than ever before that I have never had a colicky baby. Even at 18 months an inconsolable baby is hard.
Anyway, that afternoon we were headed east for a family dinner so we stopped at Gardner Village for some down time on our way. Just the first of many fall visits to one of our favorite places...
Livs was not about to share her bread with the ducks--it's a good thing we had fresh bread with us and not the old, dried up stuff we usually bring :)

They have some great photo-ops at Gardner Village. I hope to visit when I come in October.
Poor Livs feeling emotionally fragile. I wonder what set it off?
I am so glad she was better for you that afternoon. That was the saddest I have ever seen any baby for that long. Just heartbreaking.
Let's go take pictures together of the kiddos at Gardner Village! I can't believe it is almost time for our annual Halloween outing!
