Firsts

We had a couple of "firsts" here today. Hannah got to try carrots for the first time, and Heidi got to go ice skating! With the warmer weather the last couple of days, the top layer of ice and snow on the river melted a bit. Since it was colder today, it froze again, and for the first time this winter, it was smooth enough to skate on. (Don't worry about the thickness of the ice, we had some people trying to ice fish by our house this weekend and they drilled all the way through the ice only to find soil at the bottom rather than water - it's frozen!) Not so bad on the first bite, but then she realizes it's not what she's used to. Yuck Mom!

  1. Wow! Looks like so much fun! Sounds like there are at least a FEW benefits to living way up there. :) Jon thinks broom ball looks like fun.

  2. Yes, there are benefits to living here. As a child, I always dreamed of being able to go ice skating outside, and now my daughters will get to grow up thinking it's normal! Broom ball looks like a lot of fun to me too, maybe I'll attempt playing someday. I'm just not too confident with my feet flying out from under me all the time on the ice yet. Ask Jon if he remembers taking us ice skating (my first time) many years ago. It's been a long time since I laughed as hard as I did that night!

  4. Hi Andi, Thanks for stopping by! I've enjoyed reading your blog from time to time, and would love to get to know you better, even if it is only online.

  5. What TINY little skates!

    I am interested in getting to know the snow shoes we bought - all this snow country living is so foreign to me!

    Tell me when you are going to try skating again - I want to see that. Maybe even try it with you! I could use a laugh like that!
