Bumping Up and Down In My Little Red Wagon

From vacation in Vegas, we didn't just go straight back home.  We extended it and spent Memorial Day weekend up at my family's cabin.

It was wonderful.  The only thing that put a bummer on it was the weather.  When I had looked at the temperatures for it and Vegas it was 65 and 95 respectively.  So that just means pants, but pretty much nothing too drastic in wardrobe.  This was a week and a half in advance though...turns out when we got there it was super windy.  Then the temperature held around 40, and even had snow flurries come down a couple of times. It was sad because this meant not as much play time outside.

On the last day it was finally warm enough.  And we took advantage.

I found the little red Radio Flyer under the cabin.  Dusted it off and stuck Dexter in it.  He loved being pulled around.  I worried he might not sit still well or not hold on.  But he did excellent in both, and was saying some version of "weeeeee" while we pulled it up and down the roads and hills.

I did some hair experimentation to pass time.
Lots of card and board games were played.
Dexter loved having access to the house.  Up and down the stairs, all day if he could have.  However, he was teething.  So happy one minute, screaming the next.

Dak was happy when i was grabbing my camera, and then...not so much.

He (and we) had some rough nights sleep.  A playpen was not his favorite form of bed for 1.5+ weeks.  Then he got a fever and sick.  However, one of the days.  He suddenly started giving me kisses, cooing, playing all by himself, and other happy things.  I checked...and yep.  A molar finally broke.  Just 3 more (and canines eventually).  I'm sorry that its a common topic, but can you tell that I hate teething.  He becomes such a bi-polar seeming child.  Good natured, then suddenly super grumpy for who knows how long.  Does teething ever stop?!

My family and proof that they do get to see Dexter.  Since I always forget to bring out the camera.

When we got home Dexter was so sick.  Fever, boogers, and a slight cough.  He knocked out on Kyle, so Kyle took a nap too.  He was tired from all the driving.  It was such a cute sight.
