One thing that always cracks me up is how Adelyn will narrate what she's doing in the third person. She's been doing this for a long time. I know she was doing it in December of 2012 because I was telling our friends about it when we were in Mexico for the Maverick Mayan trip.
Odin has started putting words together. He also tends to repeat things. Two of my favorites are, "Dude" (said like doo-dah) and "What the deuce?"
March 11-14
On Tuesday, Rick and Mickey came for a visit. This was the first time for them to see "our" mountain. We still had Nikki and Damien too, so it was a busy house! During the days Nikki was busy visiting family, and Damien and Ben were out skiing. That left the grandparents and the kids and me to have some fun.
On Wednesday we went to Kangaroo Zoo. The kids and I had passed it a few times so I had looked it up to see what it actually was. Looked like fun. When we got there Odin went into one of the bounce houses. Then he realized that his big sister was scared and decided he should be too. So we spent the next 20 minutes (maybe more) trying to get them to try out the different bounce houses. We even had a little girl try and show Adelyn around. FINALLY, they both decided it was a lot of fun. And it was hard to get them to leave.
On Thursday we met Ben for lunch on the mountain. Then we took the kids skiing. Make that kid. It was a nice and sunny and warm day. Adelyn just had her light jacket on. After getting her ski boots on, she started to freak that she needed her winter jacket. In the end she didn't go skiing. But little mister sure did! I steered him down the little hill a few times, then I went back to Adelyn. Ben got Odin to go down unassisted a few times. Odin had a great time. After naps we headed back up for a village tour to show R&M our home site. Rick went on a snowmobile with Joe the rest of us hopped into the new toy that's like a dune buggy on treads. I'm sure it has a name. When we got to our street, we strapped on snowshoes and walked around the property. It was so nice and clear. We had great views. I'm so excited to build!
Friday R&M left right after a quick breakfast.
