Betty's Trip to Jamaica

Betty left last week and it's been pretty sad around here! :) Luckily, we have Facetime, so we can chat while we watch Price is Right together (since I get the west coast channel and can watch at the same exact time!).

Betty stayed with us for almost two months and it was so nice having company around while Olivia is so little. We did go on a few outings away from Kingston to Ocho Rios, Port Antonio, and the Blue Mountains, but mostly we just hung out at the house.

Breakfast in Port Antonio

Visit to the National Gallery- super interesting!

Who knew that doing day-to-day stuff, including grocery shopping, tidying the house, working out to Jillian Michaels, going out to eat, and cooking meals would be such fun! I think Betty loved not having to go in for work each day, though she did put in a lot of work helping me out!!

Having an extra hand to help with sweeping all the tile was awesome!

"Chop chop, ladies, chop chop"

So fun making breakfast every morning- anything from pancakes, waffles, omelettes, egg scrambles, cinnamon toast, to banana bread

Jerk chicken! 

Devon House Ice Scream (sorry we didn't get to go again on your last night- next trip!)

Having some American treats- KFC

And Wendy's Frostie!

Betty was also "Super Auntie," taking tons of photos of Olivia, playing with her, and even going with us to Baby Group with some other mommies around town.

Storytime!

Olivia's favorite- Squeakaboo!

To cap off Betty's time with Olivia, we did a photo shoot, which was lots of fun! I think that Betty and Olivia look amazing!

Betty can always get Olivia to smile!

We read some books together (we finished reading Ready Player One, and it was fun doing a "read-aloud"), watched a ton of Netflix, and Betty watched all the seasons of Game of Thrones in a week.

Although Betty didn't get to sleep in much, she did get to take in a good number of naps. This is just a small sampling of the "Betty napping" photos. Hahaha.

How is this even comfortable?

Or this??

My two sweethearts!

Betty was with me as I learned to navigate the roads and drive on the left, and she was with me when I got my phone stolen out of Olivia's diaper bag. Those were two times that I was definitely glad that Betty was with me!

Thanks Auntie Betty for coming out to Jamaica and visiting us! I am so glad that we were able to make that happen (in January, I was thinking that maybe it wouldn't actually happen).

Olivia looks sad because she knew Betty was about to hope on a plane for the USA
