A Day in the Life of Reed

So my plan was to do a "Day in the Life" post chronicling our Saturday activities, that being said we were so incredibly off schedule yesterday, I'm not going to even publish what our timeline looked like, it's too embarrassing. I will say that Jon had to work in the morning and then had a commitment in the afternoon/evening as well, so I decided Reed and I should do something fun and I settled on hanging out with Grandma and Papa Jay at their cabin. We had a great day filled with lots of relaxing, hiking, food, dogs, and harmonicas. I've thrown in a few pictures from the beginning and end of our day as well as a schedule that is "typical" for Reed right now. Enjoy!
