Mountain Retreat

Grandma and Grandpa decided to spend a full week up at their cabin again this year. Since Jon and I are fairly caught up at work we took Tuesday off to head up to the hills and join them. Kieran is now down to one nap a day but for some reason woke at 5:00 am. It worked perfectly because he slept for a good chunk of the hour drive and then was ready to play when we arrived.

Almost immediately we headed out on a stroll. Reed and Grandpa led the pack finding mud puddles and fallen trees along the way. We let Kieran "walk" and I didn't even bring the carrier. He loved climbing up hills. I would carry him for a few minutes here and there but he would soon want to get down again and wasn't phased by the rough terrain or the million spills he took. Once we got back to the cabin Grandma and Grandpa made delicious hamburgers and we had a relaxing lunch. The boys both went down for naps afterwards, but as seems to be the case every time, Reed just couldn't fall asleep. Eventually I let him come out of the bedroom and he and Grandpa played dominoes. Once Kieran was awake it was of course time for snacks and then we went to the meadow area in front of the cabin to play Frisbee. Reed managed to pick it up fairly well and made some good tosses, he also loved chasing the Frisbee. Kieran was content to explore and watch the Frisbee whiz by. Before long it was time to pack up and head home. K did get car sick on the way home so it's something we are going to have to figure out before our next road trip. Even with that it was a great day and was extra special because Jon was able to join us.
