The park... winter style

A cold but clear December day with two small children itching to play!

Maia was determined she needed to ride her bike, and Parker thought that the park might be fun.  I warned them of the cold, and that things might not be as fun now as they were in the summer... but we bundled up, and I threw the bikes in the trunk, and planned on returning to some hot chocolate.

When we first arrived, Parker learned an important lesson on what it's lie to walk on solid sheets of ice. He was surprised, but unhurt. Which is good, because he fell about 5 times because he was determined to try again, and wasn't so sure if he knew what was causing him to fall down.

Since we had our run of the place, it was right to the big big slide!
 We took a quick spin on the bikes as well, but we were rather done. 
For a  little pre-holiday fun that evening, the kids got in their jammies, loaded up in the car with some cuddly blankets and headed out to look at the Christmas Lights.  They really enjoyed it... especially when we found this over-the-top house with lots of chasing lights and animated inflatables.  
They liked it so much, we went again another night!
