Last weekend we took the kids up to my parents cabin to play in the snow. Owen was so excited he talked about it all week, Ethan on the other hand not so much. He wanted to watch out the window at Owen. He liked to have the snow hat on but didn't want to be in it.
We finally convinced him to get dressed and try it out
It was a no go. He kept saying it was "Cold mama"Owen couldn't get enough of it. He rolled around in it all weekendWe put Ethan on the sled on the driveway and he seemed to like itAll smiles from him were gone when we decided to go look for a bigger hill and let him ride down by himself. Not a good idea folks sleds have minds of there own and my smiley, giggling 2 year old was heading the wrong direction for a 3 foot drop into rocks. He scared the living crap out of me. Stewart was chasing him down the hill will I was trying to run to stop him and he was flying down that hill, I will say its amazing what you do when you think your child is going to get hurt, I took a super woman flight and stoped him, he rolled of the sled hit his head and that was the end of sledding for him. Do you blame him? What a dumb idea Mom!!Stewart and his 10 feet of legs with Owen Oh Nelly
A long as all fours were touching the ground he was happy
Snow angels
My little dare devil
Owen was not too happy about our snowman, he said he was too lumpy without smooth sides, welcome to my world son, I feel his pain.
After the snow sledding Owen wanted his dad to take him on a quad ride and teach him how to drive it, so they took off and came back and told us the funniest story ever. So apparently Stewart was explaining to Owen that the throttle is was makes the quad go and before he could explain that you start out slow Owen and pushed it all the way down popped a wheelie and knocked both of them off the quad right onto their behinds. I would have paid money to have seen that. They are lucky they didn't get hurt Stewart however did have a bruised butt cheek :) Owen was scared to drive the quad the rest of the time.
Besides the 2 incidents of trying to kill our kids we had a great time. It was fun to spend time with my kids and watch them play in the snow. Thanks again Mom and Dad for having us over the weekend and for building such fun memories with us. My boys love their papa and obomba :)
