Zephyr was "fishing" for rocks and sometimes chunks of ice...strange dog.
Bundled up to go down to the frozen creek/pond.
Benaiah would not walk on the ice, which is understandable since his feet went out from under him twice when he first got on the ice. I was holding his hand so he didn't hurt himself, but he was very happy riding in the sled. How do kids sit on their feet for so long without them falling asleep...shorter limbs maybe (less distance for blood to travel...I don't know).
The dogs love to come on the walking-on-ice adventure. They tend to walk on the thin stuff and fall in sometimes, which helps us to know where not to walk. Max also got his feet pretty wet because he can't help but jump on the ice until it breaks...still a little boy in a big boys body, I guess.
Some places the ice was so thick and clear that we could look through it and see stuff frozen on the bottom or in some places water still flowing underneath, along with minnows and other fish swimming underneath. The beavers have built a dam on the Bremer section of land, which makes Gramma Shell very happy because it means a nice pond for cooling off in the summer.
