Letters to Lyla and Lottie

Lyla and Lottie, we took another trip to visit Dada in the middle of November.  It was much less eventful than our last trip north (a good thing) and a lot of fun.  Dad did some research and go us an awesome suite right next to The Gateway.  It had a kitchen, two bedrooms, two flat screens, and amazing views of the city.  Unfortunately, it didn’t have an indoor pool like we thought .  The first night we were there we went to a hockey game with Uncle Scott and Aunt Shauna.  I was very surprised how well you guys seemed to like it!  Lyla was all about the goodies and seemed in awe of all the hustle and bustle.  Lottie was just totally chill, taking it in.  The following day we went to Discovery Gateway which was the highlight of the trip for me.  THAT PLACE IS AMAZING!!!!!  It made me wish we lived closed so we could have a pass and go all the time.  It’s hard to even explain because there is so much to it….a play house, a grocery store, building centers, art centers, water play, etc etc.  It is the most engaging child-centered place I’ve ever been.  They even have a padded 18 months and younger area for Lottie to chill…and a nursing area (but don’t get me started on the cracked out mom who was spralled on the couch the whole time so I ended up nursing on the floor).  It is an understatement to say that Lyla had a complete ball.  She ran herself ragged.  Oh, and ALL the kids.  I can’t wait to go back.  We also did a little shopping at Gateway, and ate yummy food!
