Over The River and Through The Woods

I know with a title like this, you are thinking we went to Grandma's house for a visit.........

NOPE..... Just a stroll through our favorite wooded park that happens to have a little river {more like a stream} running through it:)

We were all in some serious need of fresh air this weekend. The sun was out and the temperature finally went above freezing.....although you would never know that, because we are still surrounded by 2 feet of snow!!



I assumed that most of the park would still be snow covered, but they typically plow the walking path, so we brought the wagon along for a little entertainment.......and that it was. Can you tell??



Nick appeased me and stopped long enough for me to snap a quick pic....... he will do anything to avoid the camera these days and I hate it because Sarah is plastered all over the blog and I have very few photos of him, but I guess it comes with the age!



Sarah contemplating her next move. I Love this scarf....My Mom gave it to me and I know it was handmade by someone......just can't remember who. I think it really brings out her big baby blues:)



They quickly ditched the wagon when we reached the big bridge. Nick decided it would be more fun to throw snowballs into the river. If you look way down the path behind Nick, you will see a cluster of people...... it was actually a wedding party. This park is a big spot for wedding photographers and even the two feet of snow did not scare off this bride and groom. The entire wedding party wore big snowboots so they could climb through the snow in order to get the beautiful scenery in the background. I am not sure I would have braved it if I were the bride.....her dress did not fare well.


After watching "Nicky" throw a few snowballs, someone else wanted to join in. She is warming up her hands in anticipation and figuring out how she is going to clear the top of that railing.....



What's gonnna work...... TEAMWORK!!!
Had to throw that in there.....Sarah loves the Wonderpets:)
With a little help from "Nicky" she successfully launched her snowball into the water. She only threw one...... because she quickly realized that it was not too smart to be digging in the snow without gloves. The cold and wet hands were enough to end our little trek through the park. So we headed for the car to go home and warm up with some hot chocolate.

Unfortunately, the kids were the only ones that got to enjoy hot chocolate. I gave up all sweets for lent....... the first week is always the hardest and I have been going through major sugar withdrawals. I guess I didn't realize how much I rely on those sweet treats to get me through the day. Kind of reminds me of Elaine on Seinfeld with the 3pm cake fix!! Anyway.... to all my recipe lovin friends, you won't see anymore delectable desserts posted here until after Easter.

Have a great week!

Just a little note: I sent the first mass email out to all those that expressed an interest in online photo editing classes. If you inquired about classes and did not receive the information, please email me {My email is attached to my profile} It seems I had a little issue with my email being marked as spam. I want to make sure that everyone got their info!!
