Hiking, No Hiking

Yesterday I asked Declan if he'd like to go for a walk through the trees. He said yes and then told Daddy all about how we were going to go.

Woke up to a cold windchill of -8 and no desire to go outside. Then Daddy reminded me that Declan kept talking about it.

So we put on our coats and headed to Rattlesnake Point....which is still snow and ice covered trails...so no hiking...but there was a big open grassy/muddy field so we still hung out in the fresh air.

We had a muddy good time!

Then this afternoon Declan had his last swim class. He didn't want to go near the deep water again and started crying, said he was scared of the water. He still passed his class but we have some work to do on his comfort. Don't know why he's gotten nervous when he's always been so good in the water. Practice practice.
