Coming straight from Georgia to Wyoming was a little shock to our systems. You can't tell in these photos that it was chilly. Actually the nights and mornings were the times of freezing cold and the days climbing up by the south facing rock was quite enjoyable. Lucas had a wonderful time climbing around to rocks. He even hiked the entire way up the trail all by himself...the kid pack is being repaired from over use. :) This is a pretty long trail and we would get really tired carrying him so it was a nice treat for us too! He was a trooper for sure and his favorite activity was putting on his harness and tying into the rope so he could do giant swings from inside the climbing cave all the way out in space. It was so much fun. I have great video of it but need to get the photos Steve took of him swinging. So much fun!
A little "bouldering" to get warmed up...he even has his chalk bag on!
Rest days turned into relaxing days at Steve and Ellen's house. We would go on walks, go to the park, take a hike or build paper airplanes. This little book was great and he built all 5 planes and tested them out numerous times. This was a perfect activity on really cold days. He also loved playing in the back yard pretending to turn the sprinklers on and off. We would bundle him up and he would be content for hours in the freezing cold. Hot chocolate was always in order after playtime!
Coffee makers still rank very high on his list of favorite "toys!" Here he is showing Steve how the filter works...what a treat to be able to check out Steve's big silver coffee maker!
Home at last! He was so happy to be home just as the rest of us were. It's always nice to go out of town but coming home is comforting too. Lucas came home to a surprise in the mail from Grandma & Grandpa Anderson...a big jumbo puzzle and chocolate Easter bunny...yummy! Thank you Grandma & Grandpa A!!
