Kelowna

As previously noted, there are no naps in Canada. This is easier to handle, though, because there are oodles of relatives in the house to help with childcare. Henry was so ramped up by the end of the evening from chasing after his cousin's kid, Parker (he's nearly three), that we regressed to use of the swaddle to help him get to sleep. And it worked! Huck was initially miffed at us for the restraining nature of the swaddle but within five minutes he was slumbering, which allowed us to remove the swaddle and get back to the dining room where folks were gathered playing cards. 500. Darr and I have decided that we have to teach some of our friends how to play so we can hone our skills and come back and beat the pants off his cousins. (On a side note, I'm not a very good player but I did have one kick ass hand - eight trump cards that went as follows: Joker, Jack, Ace, Queen, Ten, Nine, Seven, Five and another Ace and Ten. Trust me, this was awesome.)
