We were all a little antsy yesterday morning so I took the kids out for a last-minute sledding expedition. We picked up one of Lex’s friends along the way, and as we were driving I was noticing the complete lack of snow everywhere! Fortunately when we got to the sledding hill there was enough for the kids to have some fun.

We found a good hill. Short, but steep, with a fun bump at the end. The loved it.

I love her face in this one. :)

A little backwards sledding.

Who needs a sled?! Penguin time!

The made it for about half an hour, then ended up laying around talking about Minecraft.

Ahh… rest time.

After awhile we headed over to check out the river. Surprisingly it was completely frozen! There were even a handful of people ice fishing out in the middle.

“Look kids, you could walk right to New Hampshire! If you were with a braver adult!” Walking on a frozen body of water terrifies me.

Check out these cool ice crystals near the edge. It reminded me of Superman’s Fortress of Solitude!

I made them hang out near the edge of the river and not walk too far away. The “skated” for awhile, then settled into eating chunks of ice dipped in slush. Yummy!

Then we dropped of Lex’s friend and headed home. I had to take a quick shower then head out to a baby shower, which was adorable. I haven’t been to one of those in awhile! Then grocery shopping and back home to have dinner with Uncle Greg! It was great! The kids even joined us in conversation at the table without fussing about reading.

Now, back to the regular routine. Happy February! Our weather forecast is calling for sunshine and 50°s today!
