This weekend we put on some ice skates and ventured out on the icy pond. What a great time we had together!
It was Chesley and Kaden’s first time but already we have seen a great improvement. By the end of the season they’ll be pro-skaters, ready to try out for the 2011 winter Olympics! Oh wait… they would have to wait till 2014. :)
The sun is shining bright, the sky is a beautiful blue, and there is a blanket of pristine white snow that lures you out of your home to enjoy the view. But, when you step outside the cold shocks your system and the wind is harsh enough to instantly change your mind about that short walk you were going to take. It has been terribly cold outside the last few days, even when bundling up.
Today the temperature is only -15°C (or 5°F) and last night it got down to -21°C (-5°F). The boys have been enjoying though. ;-)
Brrr!
It’s been cold and snowy here in Durham for the last month. The boys have been putting their winter gear and sleds to good use.
Chesley received a brick maker for Christmas this year. Now it’s time to start building a snow fort!
We woke up to a white blanket of snow that covered the ground on Tuesday morning. So, when break time came Chesley and Kaden were excitedly putting on their boots, coats, and gear. There was only an inch that had accumulated but it was just enough to make for a lot of fun!
As you can see, we made our first snowman of the season. Unfortunately, he had melted by mid-afternoon but, I’m sure we’ll have plenty of opportunities to build more soon.
Before all the leaves on campus got raked up Chesley and Kaden had lots of fun making leaf piles and jumping in them.
…the things you do when you’re a kid.
I wanted to show you some more pictures from around campus. As you can see, its very beautiful right now with all the changing leaves.
