Need Snow... Will Travel...

This weekend we drove up and over to the west side of giant mitten state. We were off to Cadillac to visit Nathan's grandparents. They aren't doing so well and a different family member goes up each weekend to spend time so the home health care people only have to be there on the week nights. Either way it was only supposed to be Nathan going up, but at the last minute Logan and I decided to join him. We left around 8:00 (after two trips back to the house because I forgot to turn some lights off and because we forgot something else - thankfully we remembered within a couple minutes of the house.) We drove two hours up to Mt. Pleasant and stayed at a hotel for the night. It was Logan's first night in a hotel and he did great. He isn't a huge fan of his pack and play, but slept pretty well. (Thank you Priceline for the cheaper hotel room!)

The next morning we participated in their free breakfast! YUM! Logan was totally taken aback by the elevator. He seemed to be shocked when the wall opened up and we walked in! ha!

After we left the hotel we stopped by Target to buy Logan some snow pants and boots! We don't have any show at home yet, but we knew there would be some at Grandma and Grandpa's house. We also stopped and bought Logan a sled which turned out to be the highlight of the weekend. Then off to Cadillac we went!

Grandma and Grandpa were thrilled with their extra surprise guests and it was great to watch Logan interact with them. I know it made them very happy even though he probably kept them from too much napping as he was running all over the place! ha! He slept GREAT Saturday night - I think all the playing outside and fresh air wore him out. Plus we had a good game of body slamming mommy and daddy on the bed before bath time!

Logan LOVED being out in the snow. He was laughing and smiling. Even when his hat fell down over his eyes over and over again - he didn't seem to really care.

Two more teeth also popped through on the top for a total of 8 teeth! Two on the bottom, four on the top and two molars! I think his third bottom tooth is almost there as well, if not already. FINALLY the boy is getting a good amount of teeth!

All bundled up and ready to head out! He ended up wearing his snow boots the whole rest of the weekend.

First thing he did was put his gloves in the snow and started licking the snow off them. Cracked me up. He did that again on Sunday morning when we went out for a second spin in the yard.

When we first started our adventure we sat Logan up in the sled. Clearly that wasn't working...

But Logan could care less - he was loving everything!

We pushed him down this little hill and even when his hat came down and he couldn't see - still was having a good time!

Rosy cheeks!

LOVE this picture!! Makes me smile every time I look at it.

He was trying to catch a snowflake on his tongue!

Daddy even started spinning Logan around doing Baby Donuts in the driveway and Logan loved that as well!

The next morning we went out and Logan knew just what to do. He got right on the sled (again couldn't see anything) big smile and then flopped over on his belly ready to go!

Daddy and Logan heading down the alley behind the house. Nathan said he and his siblings used to play back there all the time in the winter! It was nice for him to be able to make new memories with Logan too.

I can't wait to get Logan out to my parents house where we have TONS of sledding hills (they live out in the country) - it is going to be AWESOME!
