Reed had a horrible allergic reaction overnight that involved me giving him a midnight bath, multiple applications of ointment, lotion, and allergy meds, lots of hugging and tears, and watching the entire Frozen movie. Kieran and Reed were sleeping in the same room and the intense screaming woke K and he really struggled the rest of the night as well. I literally got 40 minutes of sleep the entire night, Reed got maybe two hours, and Kieran, Grandma, and Grandpa possibly a few hours more than that. Reed was pretty much inconsolable and the only thing that made him feel better was being distracted (hence the movie) so Grandpa and I hung out with him for a while and Grandma took over Kieran duty. Needless to say we were all exhausted the next day. We attempted to explore Lake Padden but the boys both fell asleep in the car on the way there so Grandpa sat in the car with them for an hour singing songs while Grandma, Aunt Kari, and I got to run around the beautiful lake on a lush tree and fern lined trail.
Luckily the boys took afternoon naps as well and had pretty good energy for the day's big event - meeting Aunt Kari's parents and her Sister's family at Birch Bay Beach for kite flying, sand castle building, a picnic dinner, and s'more roasting. It was so wonderful getting to spend time with them all and to meet Annaliese and Haleigh's other boy cousins Elias and Malachi. The kids got filthy dirty playing in the sand but had a great time playing together.
