Andy's Birthday

I've been so busy I've fallen behind! But we did celebrate Andy's birthday. He was very busy at work, so I took his brownie ice cream cake out to work. It took FOUR brownie mixes to make this monster chocolate concoction and got pretty melty on the way to the airport. It was a good thing we went out to work too, since his friends at work helped him finish it off. We did presents briefly when we got home and then our friend watched our kids so we could go to a movie. Andy loves going to movies and we don't go very often so I think it was a fun birthday treat! Happy 30th Andy :)

West Mendenhall Lake

On a sunny day we ventured out to Mendenhall Lake for a little picnic. It was pretty windy, but Wynn still had fun walking in the snow. He's getting his "snow legs" yet. Sydney also got her first life experience with why we don't walk out on a frozen lake. She was having fun breaking/kicking the ice along the shore when suddenly a bigger chunk broke off and startled her. Instead of running to shore, she stepped up on the other ice and started running to the middle of the lake. Well... obviously we rescued her and had a nice little talk about ice safety just like the talked about at her glacier field trip a few months ago. What an adventure!
