Yowzers.

This was a big day. BIG. And tiring. And Wyatt now thinks he's a big boy with a 9pm (or later) bedtime which, unfortunately, means he's just seriously cranky for about 3 hours prior to actually going to sleep. We've just been out and about so much that his schedule is way off. I'm sure he'll bounce back, but for now he's apparently too cool for naps. I also don't think any of this bodes well for our flight home in December - especially the part where he's decided his carseat is evil. Ahhhh, wonderful. Moving on.

Jeff had to work today, so Uncle Leon, Aunt Martha and I started the morning at Hiji Falls which turned out to be a little (lot) more strenuous than I anticipated. As in, we were all totally sweating halfway in. It's approximately 7024 stairs up and down through the jungle. It let Uncle Leon walk among the "flora and fauna" as he requested, and Wyatt really enjoyed it so I guess that's what counts. Check out this happy guy!



Since the hike took twice as long as we thought it would, we went straight to the aquarium upon finishing. It was there that Wyatt continued his nap protest but did, for brief periods, tolerate his stroller (the rest of the time we carried him) and enjoy the big fish. He was mesmerized.



We finished up on the grounds of the aquarium and that's where Wyatt finally fell asleep - completely mid-struggle. He slept just like this for about a half hour. The Japanese kept looking at him and saying, "kowaii!" and then laughing and gesturing about him sleeping arched on his side.



From there it was on to Pizza in the Sky for dinner (sorry, no pictures because our batteries were out) and then we poured ourselves into the car to come home. We're all wiped out (except maybe Jeff) and we're off to bed so we can do it again tomorrow :)

Wow, your day doesn't even compare to mine...I thought I had it made sitting in my hotel room at the Holiday Inn Express in Dodge City, KS drinking my McDonalds coffee and using their dial up internet access while my husband and every other "hunter" in the midwest searches for their limit of pheasant! I miss you!

Sounds like a great day! And I agree, Hiji Falls is way more strenuous than advertised. At least you got Pizza in the Sky as the perfect reward for all that hard work!

I'm glad Mad and I pooped out for the hike! We never would have made it! That sounds exhausting.
