Winter lake- aaahhhh

A romp at the lake in December.....What were we thinking?!?!?!

A couple of days after Xmas it was so sunny and warm out that Jody suggested we go for a walk by the lake.
Maya Rae and Saige were all excited and wanted to bring their bikes so Jody kindly loaded them on the back of the car and out we went.

We expected it to be a little cooler by the water so we brought some extra 'swaddling' (as Jody called it) for the girls.
Though Jody makes it look very tolerable here in this picture....
It was NOT!!! It was freakin FREEZING!!!!

I thought we were all going to die!!!

The girls tore off on their bikes and were out of site in moments. Jody and I walked for a little while. We were worried that the girls would be half frozen so Jody ran all the way back to the car and drove back around to another entrance to the park to find the girls.

By the time he got there I had met up with the girls who WERE frozen and as they said- suffocating from the freezing wind in their faces. They were very grateful for the rescue!

We all loaded- THANKFULLY- back into the car and went across Geneva to get Vayda from a friends house.
After 20 min in the car the girls were thawed out again and back to being their normal total goof ball selves. We'll be waiting for spring before we try that again.
