The weather was so much warmer today than it has been in a long time and so I took Jayden and Marcus down to the pond while DH stayed with napping Allan.
Here they are going out to check the ice.
After a few tentative steps Marcus joined Jayden in a game of "hockey" with a puck that they found. And when they were through with that, we all had a grand ol' time doing this!
Then they wanted to go see if they could find the Canada geese that are normally so crowded around here but nary a one was seen...
Marcus found this massive stick, though, and decided that that would be a great one to carry all the way home in order to "show Dad". Why is it, I wonder, that they need to find the biggest one?!
I'm not really asking... I know it's 'cause they're boys and that's what boys do! :o)

This has been my inspiration for this winter adventure. Have any of you read this?

Lol! I have a little girl who is always in search of the biggest stick she can possibly carry. Beautiful photos! I love the close ups! I think ponds work as well as creeks for winter fun ;o)!
