Kolton was a tiny bit
temperamental day two as what he loves most is to lay on the floor and have others talk to him. Unfortunately, when camping there isn't much of a floor. Tosh and Mark helped remedy the situation by creating a shaded, mock floor. (He's not a big fan of the sun either).
He was so happy to chill on the towel in the shade... and I was so happy to get to swim with the kids and not worry about my little man.
He also greatly appreciated being able to lay down on the couch in grandma and grandpa's trailer.
Brian, Grandpa,
Kolton, and I got up at 5 am and went on a beautiful drive where we say hundreds of Elk.
Later that afternoon I wanted to take the girls to the same place. They begrudgingly joined us with promises of lots of wild flowers. We went on a different drive and, while we didn't find wild flowers, we did find snow.
And I have to say, there is something magical about walking in the snow in Nevada in July!!
I was in flip flops so it was icy!! But
refreshing!
Xiana woke from a little nap just as we were getting out... we didn't hear her so she was pretty distraught by the time we got back to the truck. I went back to take another picture in order to pacify her.
This little man nursed on very bumpy roads... until it became unmanageable. Then he just snuggled for a bit.
At the top of the mountain the kids had a snowball fight with
Tysen... in July!!
Kolton was too tuckered out to throw many snowballs.
Grandma came prepared with all kids of festive goodies. She brought pop rocks and flags and necklaces, and a ton of loot.
That evening the kids spearheaded races and games. There were only a few minor accidents running down this rocky road.
Grandma was very helpful enabling us to get some stuff ready for dinner.
And
Xiana attempted to help Jenn and Jeff. Unfortunately Parker is bigger than she is!!!
That night we made
s'mores.
Xiana was so tired that she took one bite of her
s'more and then asked if she could go to bed. Actually we were all pretty exhausted. All four of our
campsites were quiet by 10:00.
