Having Fun in Our Winter Wonderland!

Here are some pictures from Riverside Park earlier this month. We love Riverside Park! It is so conveniently close (like right across the street!) and has several playgrounds that the boys really enjoy. And when it's covered with a layer of nice slippery ice, it's even more fun for our boys!

Joshua, Jonathan, and Jordan "ice skating" (they're in their sneakers) down the frozen sidewalk...








Joey trying to stay upright...he wasn't quite as fond of sliding along the ice...


So I took him to the swings while his brothers and Daddy had a contest to see who could throw ice chunks and hit a tree on the other side of the wall. Here's my upside-down monkey boy...


About to go down the slide...


The big boys soon joined us on the playscape. Jordan really was having fun, I promise! He just didn't want to be asked to smile for the picture, the little stinker!


Here comes Jonathan!


Sadly, the snow and ice have all melted away now. Hopefully, we will get more before winter is over. After spending most of our lives in Texas, we are really enjoying the "real" winter here! I daresay we've even become accustomed to the cold. It's funny, because in Texas weather in the 40s was really cold to us, but now that we've been in temps in the teens and 20s, when it's hit the 40s lately, it feels downright balmy, and the kids don't even want to wear their coats!

Check back tomorrow for the next installment in our bread adventures...I'm sure you can't wait! :)
