Winter Chill

After a mild fall, the new year has seen plenty of cold days. We still try to get outside when we can (two stir-crazy 3-year-olds are not as much fun as you might think) and have been revisiting some of our favorite summer swimming holes - Margaret Lindley Pond and Windsor Lake - to see how winter has changed them.

Noemi keeps telling me it's Spring (as in, "Mommy, why do we still have Christmas lights up? It's Spring!"). I hate to tell her we still have a ways to go, but we're still loving ice skating at the Williams rink. They want to be hockey stars just like their cousins Ray and Lucas and their Opa! Although I doubt Opa ever had second-hand Barbie skates like Noey does.

Slip-sliding on the ice on Windsor Lake. Despite the warm temps this day it was still frozen solid.

Braving the arctic temps at Margaret Lindley with Gram. This will be a sandy beach again soon!

Getting a ride around the rink with Daddy and their friend Max. They mostly push the chairs themselves and can skate a little without them.
