Ice Storm

They did not cancel school today . . . so I did. I kept the kids home from school after Charles called me and told me not to bother going on the roads. (I have to drive 6 times to and from school, 15 minutes each way.)

There was a layer of ice everywhere! It was pretty impressive. 

Ice-Skating rink. Not a good thing to walk on with baby in arms . . . 

The kids wanted to see how slippery it really was . . . that is ice under their feet. 

And they ice-skated in the middle of the road . . . 

 And fell down . . .

 And glided . . . 

Danced . . .  

steady now . . .  

 And soared . . . 

 And fell some more . . . 

 And landed on their backs . . . 

They could really glide far . . .  

So fun! 

Though I was just waiting for a crash and burn (and blood) . . . we were lucky. Not today.  

 Glad we stayed home! 

Reminds me of my Alaskan childhood. We had a sledding hill at school that was always covered in ice and blood. Those were the good ol' days.
