Oden has gotten both very brave, and very good, when it comes to climbing the structures at the park. His loves to climb, but more than anything, he loves to show off that he can do new things to his Mommy.
Oden is so proud when Mommy acknowledges his victories.

Oden the Handyman
Oden wanted to 'fix' the bed, but he couldn't reach the broken part. So, he figured out a way, all by himself, to get himself up to the upper bunk to fix it. Once Daddy got home from work, Oden wanted to show off his diligent problem solving skills and handyman (where did that trait come from???) abilities.... but it took a few tries.

Long Weekend Getaway - Berkeley Springs, WV
Mommy, Daddy, Levi, and Oden went to Berkeley Springs, WV for a weekend getaway. We rented an old downtown apartment (upstairs from an herbal remedies apothecary) that was roomy, but reminded us why we don't like old houses: squeaky floors and noisy!
However, the location was great! We were located in the center of the downtown area, which is only 4-5 blocks long. Berkeley Springs is known for it's natural springs, and George Washington came to the springs and even owned property in town. Oden loved playing in the water, and he has gotten really good at throwing stones.
We had some good food while in town, and the best restaurants we found were Lot #12 and Tari's. They also had a nice Farmer's Market where we bought some heirloom tomatoes and ate a nice lunch (also by the Lot #12 folks) of garbanzo bean salad, smoked chicken and black bean wrap, gazpacho, and basil corn on the cob....yum.
We went hiking both Saturday and Sunday at Capacon State Park, which is just 10 miles outside of Berkeley Springs. It is a nice park with lots of hiking and a lake which we didn't get to. We saw tons of deer during both of our hikes - they had really long tails relative to other deer we have seen. We also got to see lots of bugs - Oden got terrorize a centipede, and pet a millipede too!
We will try to get better at keeping up the blog. Oden is still doing new things every week, and this is such a great platform to both record and share his great accomplishments....
