Fun in the Ice??

Illinois has been hit with freezing cold weather, including ice and snow and below zero temperatures. Most of the ice was inches thick in most places. Right now, about a week after these pics it is sunny and in the 50s! Illinois weather is always crazy! Who knows! Steve got a cheapo sled for Colin and brought him out on the driveway to slide down it and into the street. Yes, we checked for cars each time! :) He had so much fun going down and then trying to make it back up with the sled. Dad ended up carrying him and the sled up again because it was so slippery. Colin really wanted Cade to come with him. So, I bundled him up (if you look closely he has no boots on, yes, bad mom I am! - his don't fit (from Colin) and I didn't have anything that would fit him, so we went out quickly with no boots on). He wasn't very happy (what is it with this kid lately!) I think they are hilarious though. Colin and Cade going down and Cade just screaming - probably due to the shear freezingness of the outside, not to mention he had nothing on over his socks. Well, we lasted....40 seconds outside, if that! Colin and dad only lasted about 4 minutes but had so much fun. It was way too cold to stay out longer than they did. I was freezing in the few short seconds I ran outside to take their pics. I guess braving the cold was worth it because after Colin thawed out, he wanted to go again!!
