Ice

A week or two of heavy rain followed by below-freezing temperatures created quite the ice rink in our pasture.

The middle kids played and slid and skated.  The dogs followed to the edge of the ice and had to be encouraged to join the fun.


Once Jack found out he was allowed out on the ice, he got quite frisky! Jack is my kind of dog.  He mostly just wants to sit in the sun outside and is frisky for about five tosses of the stick.  Then he is ready to go patrol the woods again.

He loved chasing chunks of ice.



Sliding was all fun and games until Shane scared Daniel by breaking through some ice.  Daniel tried to run away, but he slipped and bumped his head.


 They were ready for hot cocoa shortly after.  (Daniel's head is just fine. He is mostly mad that I took his picture and he will be really mad when he finds out I posted it)
