Forced Fun
This past weekend was another whirlwind as usual, with a few twists. Poor Finley has her fifth cold in her short 4 3/4 months life. She better not miss any school days in her future with this immunity building!?! She is just not her chipper self, and needs and deserves lots of TLC, aka holding at all times. This has been the worst cold thus far with a cough that doesn't allow her to sleep much. Ryanne got it a day later. I have never seen these kind of meltdowns and tantrums from her, but she just feels so icky, I cannot blame her entirely. We have to really pull from our patience reserves. But the sun was out and I thought we would go have some forced fun outside since we all need some vitamin D, and if we are gonna be covered in (lots of) snot, we might as well be outside. We decided to go hike Rattlesnake lake trail, about 20 minutes from our house. Eric and I like to joke, ...." So, what's 20 minutes from your house?" We are officially snobs about living in such natural beauty. We know its not for everyone, but we love it. The sunshine and the semi-difficult hike really lifted our spirits. (and hopefully our butts too!) We felt really good that we made it to the top...then when we got back down, our prize was splashing in the beautiful Rattlesnake Lake.
This really IS real...
We made it!
She wasn't as close to the edge as it looks...
Cheeky daddy..
