Winter Walk

We took advantage of the rare sunny day on Sunday and took a walk to Tunnel Park. I pulled Andrew in his sled and Jeff pulled Elyse in her sled. The kids enjoyed playing on the snow covered playground and then we took a walk through the tunnel to go see all the ice on the lake. We even ventured out onto the ice and found some "ice caves", as the kids called them. On the way back home we stopped at the neighborhood sledding hill. It was a fun afternoon - although I think we all agreed that we prefer Tunnel Park in the summer!

Andrew down in an "ice cave". I had to help him climb out because it was deep and it was too slippery for him to climb out on his own.



Elyse and Andrew in another "ice cave".

There was a small river of open water. Andrew had to take his glove off and feel how cold it was!

I thought his picture of Elyse was cute with the beach grass and lake behind her.

At the entrance to the tunnel. Jeff had to duck when he was walking through the tunnel because there was so much sand built up inside the tunnel. Not to mention the huge mound of sand and snow that we are standing on!

Elyse loves playing at the playground!
