Last week we had friends up for a visit for the week. Our big adventures were a hike to South Mountains park. It was beautiful. We hiked along a river and saw a huge water-fall. Now this is more impressive because of the ice we traveled over (and on) during our hike. Due to such freakishly-cold temperatures here pretty much the entire path was a sheet of ice. And the falls themselves were frozen in parts. This was beautiful for all of us, but amazing for our friends who had never seen real snow, or ice, or icicles. I successfully navigated the trek up the mountain path with Max on my back. I prayed to his guardian angel nearly the entire time. Thankfully, the dad with us took Max on the way down, as I fell several times, along with the rest of the kids. No injuries to report. The kids got to sled a bit in the backyard, and now, finally, the snow has melted. We spent an afternoon at the local science museum as well. And last, but not least, Robert helped Patrick with some handy-man jobs around the house. They cut a whole in the wall so we can create a Jack-n-Jill bathroom! It was great to spend time with friends.
