'THIS is why we live by the river!!"

We had a wonderful family day today! The weather was very warm, especially for January, and our day was free from demands, so we took the kids tobogganing down our river bank! We don't have a lot of snow, but the little snow we did have was wet enough to make for a fast ride down. At one point Alex looked at me and with a smile on his face said "THIS is why we live by the river!" Indeed it is one of the many perks of living here!

Alex, perfecting the ramp! Who would have thought there was an art to a simple snow ramp?!? Leave it to Alex, the artist!



Morgun enjoying the ramp!


Martin and Malia relaxing in the sunshine. Notice the little smirk on Malia's face. She was trying so hard to be serious like Papa.

Malia soon learned to cover her face so she didn't get the snow in her face.

It sure felt good to join the kids in the fun!

Martin and Malia. Martin's not smiling because he's so happy, its just his little trait of concentration! (I hope he doesn't read this or he'll kill me! :)

Wipeout!

The long climb after a fun day!
