March 23, 2016 - March 29, 2016 - 20 months and 2 weeks

We spent Easter Sunday through Tuesday at Byer's Lake, Cabin #3, which is about an hour north of Talkeetna.  So wonderful to leave 40ºF (4ºC) and rain in Talkeetna and enjoy an actual winter wonderland for a change.  It was around 25ºF (-4ºC) and snowing the entire time we were there.  
Super fun sledding, skiing, lounging in the cabin, and, of course, Kadin's first ever Easter egg hunt!

Kadin always seems so happy outside, playing and exploring the world.  Best cure ever for his fussiness! 
Six eggs and one orange.  Eggs dyed with blueberries (blue), tumeric (yellow), and paprika (didn't work so well). 
And he's off, empty basket in hand.  I just told him to go look for the eggs and he knew exactly what to do!
This was the first one he saw, and it sort of freaked him out.  They had a stare-down for a few seconds and then he slowly approached.  It does have a sort of evil look to it, completely unintentional. 
After conquering his fear of the evil snowman, Kadin tried to grab the egg but it proved a bit awkward with his fleece dog-booty mittens.
Mittens gone, Kadin easily picks up the eggs on the porch.

And another egg and choco/pb cup on the sled.
He was trying to give me his peanut butter/dark chocolate cup but once I opened it up for him, he understood and kept the rest for himself!

This Easter egg hunt was way too easy for him!
Yay!  Another one!
After he found all of the eggs, Kadin tried to figure out what was inside them.  He had only had scrambled and fried eggs up until now.  What a surprise! 
He really wasn't that excited to find a hard boiled egg inside.  It's like someone had already told him about the plastic ones with candy and money inside!  You have to watch the video...
These two hooligans (and Bucky) had to stay inside during the hunt.  I'd already caught Buck trying to sneak away with one of the eggs in his mouth.

March 9, 2016 - March 15, 2016 - 20 months


At the end of a day of sledding, Kadin heading up to the cabin.  I bet he (and Bucky) are thinking, "Ok, that was fun, but now it's… DINNNER TIME!"


A few days later, Kadin and I went to play down by the pond at my house.  He's having fun riding the melted down remains of our snow horse from last week.  


And then we were heading back up to the house, when Kadin had to stop to pick a few frozen high bush cranberries, and as soon as the sled stopped, Birch jumped in to get some lovin' from his favorite little human.  



Purrrrrrr!

Fun trip to Pigot Bay Cabin on Prince William's Sound.  Beautiful weather and lots of rocks and blueberries and jellyfish to play with!
