Our Icy Adventure

We needed to get out of the house today so we bundled the boys up and decided to go on a little adventure.  One incredible thing about living in rural NH is that an adventure always awaits literally out your front door.  We went for a little walk down the rail trail and ended up slipping and sliding our way through the frozen meadow.  The boys loved the excitement and had a blast "skating" on the frozen dirt road that connects the meadow back up to our house.  Here are a few pictures of our adventure!
Camden pretending to be asleep in the stroller.  This kid refuses to look at a camera and smile like a normal person.  Oh well.  Maybe someday when he's 15 or 25 or something.

Thanks for the cute hat, Aunt Amy and John!

 So certain people in my life (ahem, my father-in-law) like to make fun of Micah's hair and tell me that he's going to go blind because his bangs are too long.  I just can't bring myself to cut them off though...he's too cute!  Maybe someday, but I'm not quite ready yet!

 Mr. Independent didn't want to ride in the stroller. 

 The meadow had flooded and then froze - we debated whether we were up for the adventure or not. 

 We're so crazy!  :)

 The river was super high and we barely made it across the swinging bridge. 

 Our house is hiding out between those two visible houses through the tress.  If you look closely you can see the awful green color (we are painting our house this summer!  Yahoo!).  How lucky are we that this is our back yard?!?!  Amazing. 

 Camden loves to "skate."  His squishy hat saved him from cracking his head open a couple times.  We had a couple close calls!

School starts again tomorrow for Scott, and although I'm kindof-almost-alittlebit ready for more of a routine, I've loved every second of our vacation together as a family of four.
