Conor and I had been working on a special surprise for Josh's birthday for a few weeks and this past Sunday we got to present it to him! We woke Josh up early and then we all jumped in the car for a little ride to an undisclosed location. Josh was tired because he had been out the night before so he wasn't paying as much attention to our travel which as perfect because I wanted it to be a BIG surprise! When we were almost at the exit I told Josh where we were going.
Conor and I arranged for Daddy to have a nice massage and man pedicure at the Wentworth by the Sea Spa in New Castle, New Hampshire. While Daddy was getting his massage and pedicure Conor and I had to find things to busy ourselves with. First we had breakfast in the dinning room. We ordered a small breakfast because we also planned on having lunch with Daddy when he was all done.

After breakfast we decided to bundle up Conor and take a nice walk and see if he wouldn't take a nap for me. I had his little stroller which is great for shopping trips but he doesn't like it as much as the other and so he got close to sleep a few times but never let himself drift off. So, since it wasn't too bad out I figured maybe we could spend some time playing outside since the hotel was very busy inside and the places I would have brought him to play were either occupied by a function or closed off. So, we went to the back veranda to play.

After playing with the boat and some toys for a while we decided to take another little walk to put the toys back in the truck and then head inside to warm up. When we rounded the side of the hotel we saw Daddy just getting out of the hot tub. So, we went inside to get ourselves cleaned up so we could all enjoy lunch together.
Conor was getting tired towards the end of our lunch and so we let him out of the high chair and under the table to play a little bit. Josh was upset because we were "those parents" but Conor didn't disturb anyone and the tablecloth was so long no one knew he was under there (there were also about 6 other people in the whole dinning room.
After lunch we went outside to take some pictures of Daddy and Conor as the Wentworth has beautiful grounds.
This was Conor's second time at the Wentworth little man (the first time was when your Auntie came with us) and you were as well behaved at 9 months as you were at 2!
When we got home it was time to love on Hunty (Thank you Grandma Janet for watching him for us!) and relax and play until bedtime.
Conor was having so much fun playing and he was actually showing me his teeth so I had to pull out the nice camera and snap a few pictures while I could.
