Freezing Rain and a Play Date.

Glenn has training in Oklahoma this whole month. It's a huge bummer. Luckily, he gets to come back this weekend and next weekend. We're making the most of having him here and trying to pack some fun in these few days we get to have him around.

Tate and I kept ourselves busy this week while Glenn was away. Story time, play dates and such. It's been really cold out this week so we had to be creative. On Friday we had what they called "freezing rain". Basically it rained a lot and froze all over the roads...and everything else. No snow, just ice everywhere. They were on the news telling everyone not to drive if you could possibly avoid it. Whole sections of freeways closed down. Schools and most of the downtown area was completely shut down. At first I thought it was just silly but then I realized that, unlike Utah, this city simply does not have the equipment to take care of a little ice so it becomes seriously dangerous.

Our favorite play date this week was was a trip to a blow up jump place with little miss Logan. They were both a little timid at first, he more than she. This whole, unsteady ground thing really threw them off. They warmed up to the idea pretty quickly and were soon climbing, squeezing, and sliding with the big kids.

Tate especially liked tackling this giraffe to the ground over and over again. Little man somehow managed to fall off the only solid thing in the room, a picnic table, and split his lip open. It was good fun. Lots of blood. He stopped bleeding pretty quickly and then was mad I was holding him still on my lap and he was off to play some more. It was a great outing for a cold day.
