Making some fun out of nothing.....

No school today. And this girl needed to GET OUT of the house. Nate decided he needed to work today which is probably a good thing since MOST of the other attorneys were in the office too. I thought about taking the boys to another movie, or going somewhere fun for lunch. Really though, I just wanted to go outside and see some sunshine.

The weather people have been ranting for the past few days about this huge storms rolling this a' way so I wanted to get outside before the snow clouds hit.

Parker has been DYING to drive his remote controlled boat for some time so I thought, Hey....lets take it for a little spin a roo. We packed up the boat, some new batteries and headed over to the only little pond that I could think of over in Snake River Landing. Sure enough though........totally frozen over. Parker hysterical. I told him not to get his hopes up but obviously he didn't listen.

While heading back home I remembered we were near new little man made fishing lake and decided to swing by to see if it was frozen over as well. Most of it was but we got out of the car, walked along the paths and enjoyed throwing rocks on the ice/ sliding the rocks into the water towards the middle. The boys were laughing, running around and having a great time.

 They loved seeing the little frozen over waterfalls as well.

 Then some ice fishers came and we watched them dig through the ice and set up their tent. They boys were fascinated by the whole thing.

When our cheeks and fingers started hurting from the cold we piled in to the car to head home. I was thinking how we had made some fun little memories even if we didn't get to drive the little remote controlled boat. What a great afternoon!

Then Parker sighs and says, "Well, that day was a total WASTE!"

Seriously?

Who's little PUNK kid is this?
