red bib and emergency drills

he was so excited to be 

in a red bib today at ski school.

warmest most beautiful day in the mountains.

i could have stayed up there all day.

which worked out to be super convenient to be feeling that way

because little cottonwood canyon emergency services 

was doing an evacuation drill right as we were going home.

so we rolled the windows down in the car

and sat in traffic for half an hour in the middle of the mountains

with the sun on our arms

coming in through the windows.

and i sat there thinking about how great it was to just sit in the middle of the road,

looking all around, with nowhere else to go.

and chase

chase napping once

chase napping twice

bless him

dirty faces

dirty bums,

not diapers

trees we wished were redwoods

the most beautiful lake on the planet

mountain air

altitude dizziness

nursing chase and looking into his deep baby blues

collapsing on the couch. 

counting down to next month.

when

the

aspens

start

peaking.

 THE END.
