Cabin Time and Fishing Prep

Time seems to go at warp speed anymore, and the amount of time to make it to the cabin, shortened. There were various things happening on weekends, etc., that didn't allow us to get there much. This weekend was an exception though.  Carter quickly got in the normal cabin routine and helped with Trivia Pursuit and then got the 4-wheeler up and running.  This 4-wheeler trip was special though.  Pa Tom and Carter headed to the dumpster to find a "treasure".  Carter arrived back home with a watch, that doesn't work and he loves it.  He will wear it, look at his wrist and tell you, very seriously, that it is 7 and 4 and 8.

After getting the standard cabin things (besides the dump trip) out of the way, we decided to rent a paddle boats and go out on the lake Saturday.  We wanted to give Carter a try with fishing before we headed to Creede in a few weeks.

He was very excited about being on the boat and getting to fish.  But, in true 3 year old form, sitting still was not easy for him and on a boat it is even harder for that.  He wanted to fish, row, relax, etc. All of these things happen in a different spot.  He is obviously not ready for a canoe.

He got a couple casts in before wanting to switch seats again.  This switch, however, led to the fishing pole breaking in half.  

With fishing obviously over, Carter took the opportunity to do a little relaxing.

It was fun, but a shorter trip than expected.
