Winter adventures!

Our best friends are Desiree and Tyler Neil. A couple weekends ago we went up north with them to visit with Desiree's family and their snowmobile's. Here is Hayden's 1st experience looking down from a second floor balcony. Just before we got the video camera he very slowly and cautiously approached the railing and tentatively looked over to find daddy waving hello. It was so cute to see him instinctively know that he was up high and needed to be careful. I made Bret get the camera and the video is what followed. The Woodman's are fully gutting and rebuilding the house while living in it so the ladder is the only access to the 2nd floor. Hayden had never seen a ladder before but just by watching all of us use it he was a pro by the end of our visit.
One evening half of us were relaxing in the living room while the other half were makeing dinner in the kitchen. I thought Hayden was in the kitchen with Desiree because I hadn't seen him for a little while so I went to check... He was not there! The search was on, I followed his trail of dropped toys and called his name to find him at the TOP of the ladder with the trap door closed!!! As I looked up at him in amazement and wonder, just stuck on the top ladder rung with no way down he looked back at me with those big eye saying "look what I can do!" I pulled him down and needles to say we put the ladder up when an adult was not using it.



Here is our wild child all ready for his first snowmobile ride! We love snow fun!
