Cabin Fever

My parents have a piece of property up towards Kings Canyon National Park. Last spring, after a lot of hard work on their part, the cabin on the property was finally deemed habitable and they have been spending a ton of time up there ever since. We don't get up to the cabin nearly as often as we should, but always enjoy our time up there when we do. This time of year it would usually be pretty difficult since there is typically a decent amount of snow, but while the dry winter has been disappointing for many reasons, it allowed us to spend a great day up in the mountains with my family on Saturday. The property is just above 4,000 feet so we wanted to wait until Reed was at least 3 months old before we took him up that far in elevation. The kid did great on the 1 hour drive, falling asleep for at least part of the trek each way.

Buckled in and ready to go

It was a beautiful day in the mountains, sunny and warm, I could hardly believe it was January. My parents put together a nice little barbecue and we all took turns entertaining the munchkin.

We tried out the "Go Pod" Kyle, Kari, and Annaliese gave Reed for Christmas. I think this will be a very handy thing in the future, but he might be a bit too small still.

Hey, what happened to my arms?

After lunch we decided to take a stroll around the property to see the bunk house they've been working on. Dodger was super excited about the whole trip and thought he should lead the walk.

Reed however thought napping sounded more fun than hiking so we headed back to the cabin so the kid could recharge.

Being up in the mountains is exhausting!!!

Reed slept for about an hour while we played games, but he couldn't take it any longer and had to join in on the fun.

Shocking - the little guy is the center of attention yet again.
