Sunny Day

Is an afternoon walk with the kids really something to blog about? When it's January in Minnesota and it's 50 degrees outside, I say yes! My parents visited this past weekend, and while my husband and father were ice fishing (apparently it's been cold enough to make some ice), my mom and I took the girls for a long walk two days in a row. This winter has been crazy nice, and I just know it's going to be one of those marker years we will refer back to in our old age.  Remember that winter when there was no snow and we had more days above freezing than below? Of course it is only January, and a cold front is coming our way.

But I'll always have this photo to prove the elusive mild Minnesota winter really does exist.
