Annual Breaking of the Ice

Last week, nine brave souls of Siblings United left the house armed with...um...nothing to fulfill the annual "Coming of Spring" tradition--breaking the ice on one of our ponds. Please don't ask us how or why we do this because frankly, we really don't know.

Adjusting to the environment




Our audience




Rachel and Hannah watch from a safe spot.




The dry wimps




"Jump Isaac, JUMP"




Is that hole safe?





Nope.






Good enough. Mission accomplished. Let's go home.



We can do the big pond next week.

I think your children are in serious danger of having too much fun.

Wow! That looks like a blast. I've only broken the ice on our pond once before with my family (but believe me, that wasn't on purpose.)

What an unusual diversion!

You silly kids!

Making memories, I suppose.
