Mini Trip to Lake Louise

Day 1:

Drive! Sweet Jett understood the assignment and slept most of the way.

Picnic lunch and short walk around the village.

Visit to Fairmont Lake Louise with the goal of skating, but it was SUPER busy so we opted to try a trail called Fairview Lookout. At only 1.1km how hard could it be with a baby in a stroller… it was VERY steep but we got it done!! Jett snoozed.

Day 2: Goal - Cross Country Skiing

Pipestone loop, only we went the wrong way and the uphills were long and tedious and the downhills were steep and high stakes. The lake was stunning! Again Jett slept.

Warm babies sleep! Comfortable babies sleep!

Jett’s delicate baby face skin doesn’t handle cold/wind burn very well and his neck warmer is  great, “it doesn’t piss him off”, which is a must!

We also layer his fleece Smittens under his hand flaps on his fleece suit to keep his little hands toasty, especially when he’s spending more time falling and getting back up than actually walking.

Thanks Lake Louise, we will be back!

When getting outdoors is hard

For me, a big part of being outside includes the rich movement that goes along with it, stroller rides don’t offer that. I have noticed that Jett sleeps a little better after a day with significant outdoor time. He still wakes frequently a night, but some outdoor time might equal one less wake up.

Jett's first Halloween

The plan is set up camp on the front lawn, bring the dogs, the baby and the candy all out front. We are going to have a little campfire and camping chairs. 

An additional hope that we will be able to connect with more families and parents by being out front.
