Tuesday we decided it would be fun to go sledding in the mountains. We all got bundled up and drove about an hour to the snow and mountains. Sledding ended up being more fun for the adults as Caden was a little scared of the mountains--we have just sled on flat snow in KS and then Aunt Nell went down first and fell off and that about did him in. So the grown-ups enjoyed going down the mountain--at a pretty fast pace and Caden just watched, but after all of us went down, he would always ask that person if he/she had broken their leg. Caden really enjoyed watching the Olympics with us in the evenings, but he really noticed when someone fell and hurt themselves--so everytime we would fall off the sled, he thought we had gotten hurt, "Nell broke her leg Mommy?" said Caden. Mommy would answer, "No, Caden, she just fell off the sled." Daddy also took Brynn down once and fell over with her, so she had a melt down as well--not hurt, got snow on her and was scared--she also wanted nothing more to do with Daddy that day. So Caden, Brynn, and I watched from the top of the mountain and finally Caden decided to go down once with daddy and did great. We left after about an hour and headed back to Janell and Jacob's but stopped on the way back to eat lunch at a fun little cafe. Then it was back to our home away from home for a long nap and time in the sun as it reached around 60 degrees that day. Janell and Jake drug out the hammock and Janell and I enjoyed the sun and books while Jake and Layne went and shot guns for fun.
After the kids got up we went to the Lake and went fishing for a bit--Caden helped Janell and Jake each catch a fish--he enjoyed it and even touched the fish--he thought it was yucky! After a yummy BBQ meal with Jake's parents we headed home to pack our stuff and get ready for the trip back home to KS.
