A Night on Vacation in Redondo

My sister had the great idea of staying at our step-father's condo for the weekend. We took our 18 month old and met up with my sister and her hubby. We had a great time despite our troubles getting our child to sleep in his new surroundings. Zach's job was to get Alex to sleep during the weekend.

All had been great. Last night however, Alex woke up crying while we were still up enjoying ourselves. Zach informed us he'd be back in 10 minutes and went and laid down with Alex. My sister and I continued talking and waited. After a period of time it became clear that Zach must have fallen asleep. I go in there and see my hubby and son cuddling on a child's fold out couch. It was such an adorable scene. On closer inspection I realize it was just Zach. Where's my son?? I got a little worried. I look behind Zach and to my surprise... my child is cuddling a nearby dresser. I pick up Alex and transfer him to the crib upstairs. I tried to wake Zach, but he was not budging. I tried two more times, but he made it clear he was planning on sleeping on the floor next to my sister and brother-in-law. I told my sister "good luck" and left the room. Within two minutes my sister successfully kicked him out. My hubby was very agitated and very grumpy.

When Zach woke up this morning he wondered how he got in bed and why he was still in his clothes from yesterday. I told him the story. Then my wonderful husband got up and took Alex for a walk so I could continue sleeping. (Mind you it was 6 am.) Here are some pictures from this fun weekend.
