ice castles

hello blog world....

it has been a while...

It has been a while since I've even picked up my camera. I'm in that typical winter slump. In a way, the slump isn't such a bad thing.  Sometimes a welcome break.  I have had more time to read, volunteer, meet up with friends, take boys to swimming lessons, watch Owen play basketball etc.... We've been battling two weeks of non stop sickness...croup, ear infections, influenza like illness....ready for a break from that.  41 days until spring break.....not that I'm counting.... ;)

Amidst the sickness, we were able to squeeze in a little visit to the ice castles here in town....

I managed to snap a few before my fingers froze off. 

They are quite beautiful.  

A frozen wonder....
