Pool

A couple days ago, the weather outside was amazing and a few of us met at a park. It was insane since the snow melted right into the park area, making it a pool. The boys don't have rain boots so I had their winter boots on. The boots are still not dry. This picture shows the puddle beneath the swings with Cal, Ike and Mado (Jane in the pink in the background). But this isn't anything compared to the rest of the park. The water actually went up over the rainboots that some kids went on and just drained right into their feet.

We went over to the field where it was icey, but it was all just sluch. The boys had fun cracking the icey slush.

Madeleine's feet were a pair that ended up with icey water all over them. She kept taking off her boots to drain them. But here she is acting very non-surprised by the chill of the ice. At first, Laura was laughing, but then she freaked out and started calling out, "MADO! Put the boots back on!" (Her socks were already sopping wet and taken off.) Needless to say, Mado ended up with a blanket around her feet, sitting by her dad for most of the time.
