Lyndsay had a sore neck from our California trip, so she stayed home with Cruz while I took Mace backpacking. We drove up Guardsman pass and then hiked up to the border of Park City Ski Resort.
I gave Mace our little camera and showed him how to use it. He took over 100 pictures. Here are some of them (Mace picked these out):
Mace actually took this picture all by himself!
He wouldn't smile for me. He just wanted me to smile for him.
We had a beautiful view down the canyon at sunset
Mace told me before we went to bed that it was going to rain. He was sure because, as he said, "there are clouds in the sky - that means it is going to rain!"
I argued with him and said that sometimes there are clouds and it doesn't rain.
Around 2 or 3 in the morning it started raining. Mace woke up when he heard the rain and excitedly told me, "See daddy, I told you it would rain!" He was pretty proud of himself. He kept rubbing it in when we woke up in the morning too.
You have to watch Mace like a hawk. I climbed up one of the ski lift towers to see the view. Mace wanted to climb up too, but I told him he could only go up 4 rungs, since he was almost 4 years old. My dad called while Mace started climbing up. Next thing I knew Mace was almost at the top. His feet were on the 13th rung. After I got mad at him and got him to climb back down a little I took this picture. He told me he thought he could climb up to the 4th from the top rung.
Can you believe this kid is scared of lightning and dogs? I wish he would spread his fears out a little more evenly.
