The ravine and the creek

It snowed all day yesterday so I took Elise and her cousins to the ravine behind our new house (and theirs) to see if it was frozen.  We were not disappointed and were able to slip and slide around.  We hiked around and even had a little adventure while trying to climb the 20 ft snow-sided ravine.  It was pretty fun for all of us - even with all the falls on the hard ice.

Elise's first run. She was cautious on this one.

Clearing the snow so we can slide better.

This is the end of my slide and I'm trying not to fall - but it kind of looks like a dance I guess.


It's fun to live by cousins.

Snow angels.


The creek was moving more swiftly here so it didn't freeze.

A beautiful divide.

We brought our dog, Polly, on this walk. She found something living in this stump...and really wanted it!

What a fun thing to do! Remember making our front sidewalk icy by packing snow on it and sliding down it repeatedly in our slick Sunday shoes. I can't figure out what my mother was thinking - but she was awesome to let us do it! I can see this becoming an annual tradition for those cousins.
