The Great Canadian Adventure Eh!

Last weekend we took Owen to meet his Canadian kin. We flew in far too late on Thursday evening/Friday morning, and arrived at my good friend Travis' house about 2 a.m. Relatively speaking Owen did great on the trip which included a layover in Calgary. 

We spent 4 days visiting friends and family, including 2 days at Great Grandma Bain's. Owen, who typically naps ~1hr at a time during the day managed to go 2 for 2 on 3hr naps when we had him at Great Grandma's, sleeping away much of the opportunity for socializing. Of course his Great Grandma and Great Aunts and Uncles spoiled him, and a number of new toys and clothes were received. Thankfully I'd brought some beer up for Travis, so we had room to haul it all back. 

Owen does not usually use a pacifier. We think he looks very strange and unfamiliar with it. But it kept his little ears from hurting during landing.

Mostly he did not suck on it, but instead tried to eat it and throw it on the floor

"Who are you?"

He was not a Marina fan... its OK though, I think she cried like this the one time I held her when she was his age.
