As the bookend of Lance's birthday celebration, we finally went on our thrice-rescheduled sleigh ride last night. We were really looking forward to it. Reagan, however, had other plans. As she is the most well-behaved baby, we usually have no qualms about taking her places (other than church). Unfortunately, some combination of the cold, the wind, the horse, or the darkness drove her crazy, and she screamed and cried for about 97% of the ride. She got so cold because she wouldn't hold still so we couldn't keep her bundled up, and then she cried harder. It was...magical.
I felt bad for our driver, a real old cowboy, and he in turn felt bad for us, so when we got back to the lodge we drank hot chocolate and he serenaded us for a few minutes on his guitar. On a brighter note, the place where the sleigh rides were was also where the crater from last week's episode of the Bachelor is (hello fans!). It's not in the middle of nowhere, and you certainly don't have to hike up a hill or climb over No Trespassing signs to get there. There are both stairs and a tunnel. Anyway, it is open to the public and you can pay to go swimming, snorkeling, or even scuba diving there! It was warm and toasty, and Reagan loved it. Figures.
It was pretty cool. Deceitful show. Things are never as they seem.In other news, we made our first offer on a home yesterday. Details to come soon.

ReplyDeleteA house? Where? What does it look like? How many bedrooms? How big? How many bathrooms? Pictures? I NEED details! ;)
ReplyDeleteA ha ha ha! Love the part about her screaming the whole way. Kids are just so great! ;) I had Cal scream his head while I was leaving a bookstore recently and then cry all the way down the street as if I was torturing him. Parenting really removes any social inhibitions. :)
