There's an ocean in my boots!
For the past week the kids have been playing (with me a few feet away) in the ditch down at the end of the lane after they got off the bus.
Slightly frozen water can be a lot of fun!
Yesterday Easton felt the movement of the ice below him and the slow sound of the particles breaking way and he knew exactly what was about to happen... after just a few moments he finally broke through the ice and felt the icy water flow just over his boots. He came out smiling and then said... "mom, I think there is an ocean in my boots!" He promptly took off the boots and walked up the house in his socks smiling the entire way. I took a video of this and I love the pure joy of watching him explore the outdoors!
