Well, we made it out to the mountains this weekend. Its a 4 hour drive one way, and not a whole lot along the way to make the trip interesting. We only had one night, so we didn't get to do a whole lot, but we saw the mountains, went to the top of the tallest, and saw a cavern carved by thousands of years of water runoff. Next time we would like to see the glaciers (another hour away) and possibly swim in the hot springs. This was the last weekend most of the places were open as they close down for the winter. Which I find quite confusing, because I thought people went to the mountains in winter for skiing.
I don't think Mason was quite ready for another trip. He didn't sleep much during the day, and hardly at all that night. But after we got home he's pretty much been asleep the whole time. I think he was afraid where he might be when he woke up, so he wanted to stay awake so he knew what was happening.
At the top of the mountain the boys got to play in the snow, and snow was falling on us. It was only 40 degrees, so I wasn't sure how that worked with snow falling and snow on the ground.
I also discovered if you are traveling East on a road in Canada the sun will always be shinging in the passenger window, no matter what time of day it is. The sun still rises in the East and sets in the West here, but its about 45 degrees above the southern horizon, not overhead. Your shadow will always point North!
You can see all of the pics here.

WOW those pics are great! How gorgeous. Poor Mason I bet he is totally confused as to where he is going next.
y'all are just on an extended vacation! (i bet you haven't heard "y'all" in a while!)
Yes, Mason was happy when we returned from our trip to our vacation home! Can't wait to see how he reacts when we come home for Christmas. Every now and then a woman will walk by and he'll scream Mama! and put up his hands. He's looking for grandma!

I stopped by the other day to drop off the toys for Shea and Chad and your Mom sounded excited that you were coming home for Christmas! I know Memaw is THRILLED!!
