Kamloops

Our drive down to Kamloops was half horrible and half great.  Reid was great for the first two hours of the drive.  He just chilled in his seat, slept for a bit.  Then he started to get fussy.  We pulled over and fed him, but that just didn't seem to make him happy.  He started up again immediately when we put him back in his seat.  And we were only at Lake Louise.  Christien voiced his opinion that we were crazy thinking that we could do this trip, which lead to a bit of a tense car ride with a baby crying in the back seat, and nothing that we could do about it.  We got stopped in some major construction outside of Golden for a whole hour.  In the hot car.  In hindsight, we really should have just turned the car off and gotten out with Reid.  Walked around for a bit.  That might have made him happier.  We just weren't sure how long we were going to be stopped for, but I guess, driving this highway every year, we should have known, that with construction comes long wait times.  We are definitely going a different way home.  Reid was great from Golden to Kamloops though.  Fussed for a bit, and I just covered him up and he went to sleep.  Then he was happy when he woke up.  I think that it was hot, and he was obviously uncomfortable in his car seat.  We made it in one piece though.

Spent a couple of hours at the beach yesterday.  Had Reid in the water for a bit.  He loved getting his feet wet, and thought that the sand was super cool.  Christien brought him right into the water, and I think that it was a bit cold for him.  The water temperature here in the lake is not like it is in Kelowna.  So I can't wait to get him to Gyro and actually be able to swim with him.  Christien and Reid went over to the water park, but again, the water was really cold.  So it's just not as fun.  We're looking for a few things to get out to do today.  There's a bazaar downtown that we're thinking of checking out.  And maybe the Wildlife Park.  I'd like to walk around some of these parks.  If Reid's in his stroller then that'll buy us a bit more time to be out and about instead of having to come home to put him down for a nap.  Heading to Kelowna after dinner sometime tonite...  Can't wait to get a family picture taken at Cedar Creek.
