Brrrrrr!

Mirror Lake, adjacent to a park about five blocks from our house, has frozen over. We had actually headed out to play at the park (in 24 degree weather - Wade's crazy idea) so we weren't prepared for sliding around on ice, but the boys got a big kick out of it (okay, so Wade and I really did too!). We have plans to head back there again soon, this time with more snow gear and gloves, an essential we were sorely lacking the first time. We're not exactly sure how thick the ice is. It looks close to a foot thick, but you know how water/ice skews depth perception. There was a vehicle parked on the ice and an ice fishing tent set up though, so we know it's thick enough to hold our family!





I think the lake must have frozen in two parts and this is where the two frozen sections merged.



Pretty pretty icicles.
