Mud Season Preview

First, I wasn't trying to be artistic with black and white in this post, but somebody set my camera to black and white and I didn't notice.


Just when we were getting warmed up (or cooled down as the case may be) to winter, we got a thaw today with a high of 47.  We met up with a friend of Finn's to get some sledding in this morning before the snow melted.  They were very sweet taking turns and helping to carry the sled:

 We were using the hill behind the playground, so after some sledding, Finn decided to do some swinging:

 Then, he realized the snow under the swing had melted into a nice slushy puddle.  So, what would anyone (or just Finn) do with such a discovery?  Put your head in, of course!

 Make ice sculptures:

 Watch your hair drip:

 Then, the boys discovered a wonderful puddle:

 And, quite literally, jumped right in:

 Found some good sticks:

 The sled is a good boat:

 Up to his knees in cold water fun:

This is a good preview for what we will be doing in the spring thaw!
