Mountain Fun

We went to the mountains for the holiday weekend and had an action packed time!  We left Friday at after 8PM with the boys in pjs in the car.  Figured we would miss major traffic by going later, which we did, yeah!  All three boys fell asleep after a little while.  Jack woke up when we stopped for gas right before the state line and stayed awake the rest of the way.  He was very busy paying close attention to everything.  Ewan woke up eventually too and was thrilled to be approaching the mountains.

I should mention that Jack and Ewan really appreciate Oma and Opa purchasing a mountain house for them!!  They keep calling it "my mountain house" or "our mountain house"!  Sean also enjoyed himself....he really loves checking out new places.  He was also mastering his pulling up skills.  He had pulled up a couple times at home already but was doing it everywhere in the mountain house.

While we did have tons of fun, we did not enjoy the sleep schedule for a while.  After we arrived around 11pm Friday Sean decided it was time to party hard and stayed up til 1:30am.  Not my idea of fun!!  Then Jack got everyone up at 6:15.  Having all three boys share a room isn't easy at this age....Jack kept waking up early and waking his brothers.  He was so excited to start the day and get hiking!!  Plus with big hikes during the day, afternoon naps were pretty much short, just the ride back to the house.  We did survive though!

Here are some pics from the hike on day one.  Saturday we went to the farmer's market, had lunch at home and then hiked Triple Falls and High Falls.  Sean really enjoyed riding on Daddy's back and checking out his surroundings.  He LOVED playing in the falls.  I think he may like the mountains more than the beach.  All the boys had a blast!!!  Jack and Ewan were excellent little hikers too.
