Winter day

Yesterday I was feeling way to cooped up - as I usually do in the winter.  I did have a lot of stuff I needed to get done around the house, but I just had to get out.   We decided to head out snowshoeing.  We haven't done any yet this year mainly because I wasn't sure how it was gonna go with Caleb.  He's getting pretty big, and I wasn't sure how easy it would be to haul him around.  Come to find out it wasn't so bad for me, since Blaine was the one who carried him. :)  
 About to head out.  We tried to stick to areas where we were not having to forge through the woods to much.  A couple times Caleb would get whacked in the head by tree branches, so we attempted to stay in more open areas.  

 Blaine hauling Caleb on his back.  Caleb was loving it - he didn't complain at all.  I did feel bad for Blaine though having to carry that heavy boy around.



Later in the afternoon we loaded up the sleds, picked Braiden up from school and headed to a sledding hill.  It was a lot of fun, I'm always up for sledding.  And I was really impressed with Caleb that he walked back up every time.  We didn't have to carry him up the hill at all.  
 Here is Braiden sledding.  He would go on the area that was a little bit higher - but it had a few crazy jumps on it which made it even more fun
 Caleb and I heading down.  Man can you say cheese?  haha  Caleb was pretty funny.  As your sledding down he had to yell WHEEE!  And even sometimes before you even started sledding he would begin yelling.  I'm pretty sure he loves sledding as well.

It was definitely a great day yesterday and it just felt really good to get out.  Especially since now I've gotta get all that cleaning done that I didn't do yesterday - but oh it was worth it!
