The Wind off of the Breaking Ice Covered Lake

In the 70s? In March? In the U.P. and upper Wisco?
Temps like this called a trip to Bayfield. Short sleeves and a playground run were a great way to spend the day with my little family. We walked the pier to get a good look at the Big Lake. Side note (and waht my title illudes to): you need a jacket on the pier. When the wind hits you off of the lake you are "slap in the face" reminded that it is March and ice is still on the water.

Fun Photo Day

I have a boy who is almost 2 and a half. What this means is: when Mommy crouches down with camera ready and says smile, the boy runs screaming the other direction. Enjoy these couple of pics., they were not easy to get.

Bits also has a new Michael Jordan-esque move: tongue out, yelling while running. Real funny. His talking is improving, and when he got bored of running around the park, he said, "Let's go home Momma" and took my hand to head back.

I can't emphasize how much fun it is to have a playground right down the hill.

Swings, Slides, and Jungle Gyms

Every nice day should be a park day in Bit's book. Thursday was a park day. I try my best to take him down to the park on our little lake, every sunny day we get, but sometimes the time in a day gets eaten up with other silly things to do.

Bits is becoming skilled at the playground structures and could stay down there all day if I'd let him.

When was the last time you were on a swing? If you can't even remember, don't be shy, find a park and plant that behind down on a swing and feel your cares fly away.
