It was a gray colored day, except for Duke's neon coat!  We walked with our friends from a park.  I just brought the sled to encourage walking and it worked for quite a while.  The start of the trail was icy with huge holes from feet - the strollers had a hard time, but the sled just glided over the mess.  It then was nicely packed snow and the boys walked a bit after finding suitable walking sticks (Santa might be brining a set of trekking poles - one for each kiddo).  We made it to a playground where they were so happy to find that they could dig in the pebbles as it was protected by the structure.  It only snowed a little bit and I would like a HUGE dump of snow to cover the dirt, ice and mess left by the melting!   Come on mother nature - throw us a bone!  

Rocks! No, you may not eat them.

Snow, yes, you may eat that.

You can't really tell from the picture, but Duke is sleeping.  He fell asleep while being pulled.
