We went to the cabin last weekend and it was very memorable. We got to the cabin around 11:30pm friday night and Reese was so excited to see Isla. Ron, Reese, and I were sleeping on a mattress on the floor and Reese thought it was her own little trampoline. She started jumping away and laughing and by 12:00, she was wired. Everyone was trying to go to sleep and we were trying to calm Reese down. We kept whispering to her, "shhhhhhh". So she kept yelling "shhhhhh" throughout the night with her finger in her nose. She doesn't understand that we put our finger over our lips and not in our nose when we say "shhhh". Anyway, I tried watching a movie with her and then she would get up and start dancing. I was covering my mouth and laughing so hard, so Reese would start to mimic me. Ron was sound asleep and Reese would jump on his back and start riding him like a horse. So 1:00 went by, 2:00, 3:00. Reese tried to go to sleep, but started crying and pulling on her ears so I thought she might have an ear infection. At 4:30, we decided to just let Reese play because she obviously wasn't going to sleep. So we pulled out all her toys, she walked in Ron's shoes, we ate string cheese, and watched the Lorax. Around 6:00. she was so tired, but just kept crying and tugging on her ears. I decided to just sit with her in the recliner and watch tv. She finally went to sleep around 6:30am and we woke up at 7:30 for the day. I have to say that we have never had a night like that, but the amazing part about it was that I wasn't tired. I think Heavenly Father blessed me with the energy and patience to take care of her that night. I enjoyed staying up with her through the night and laughing with her. She is seriously hilarious and I consider this to be our first slumber party.
The next morning, Reese was a walking zombie, but was ready to go play. She loved feeding the squirrels and throwing pine cones. We went on a hike and she loved waving at everyone from above.
One of my favorite memories of the whole trip was just pushing Reese in the tree swing. She was so tired, but still so happy. I would push her in the swing then pretend that she hit me with her legs and I would go flying. She started laughing so hard that she was snorting. I love her little laugh and how happy she always is. She can make everyone in a room start smiling by her laugh.
