New Years Day

new years day we spent all day at the cove, a small swamp pond in our town that freezes.

we packed up the skates, shovels and snacks

1st job was to clear the ice

I love the one of them looking for Nemo! How cute is that?

Yeah, that ice would scare me! Why did it look like that?

Oh no, look at Caroline's helmet hair. I'm glad you found some detangler. That had to help tremendously!
