It was a long travel day to get to Ottawa, but it was well worth it! It was quite late by the time we arrived, so we were in bed shortly after...had to get our rest for a big 1st day of plans!!
Our first morning there, the "Toronto" Malhotras had not yet arrived, so Jackson had a solo breakfast with Grandpa to start the day.
And he even talked Grandpa into pushing him around in the stroller for a bit.
Soon after, we were off to Paul Loo's house (or "Uncle Paulie" as Jackson calls him) to see all of Anil's lifelong friends & all their kids. Jackson & Mommy think it's so special that they all still keep in touch!
It was an awesome few hours with friends...old and new...filled with lots of food & new toys. Jackson especially liked playing with the football equipment and the BIG piano! He and Lola were two peas in a pod on the piano bench. And Uncle Bruce even tried to teach him a few basics.
After all that excitement, Jackson was ready for a nap. We probably could have taken one, too, but instead, we made a Tim Hortons run...our 1st (but one of MANY) on this trip...while Grandma/Grandpa kept an eye on the napper. It was fun to just sit, drink & snack together for an hour. Even though we work together at home these days, there still doesn't seem to be much "down time" to just sit.
Soon after nap time, Chachu, Chachi, Audrey & Violet finally arrived. And not long after, Grandma started passing out what would be the 1st in a long line of presents. :-)
Too soon, it was bed time. We had a big trip to the museum planned for the next day!
