Sliding

I just got back inside from taking the boys for a quick walk before it gets dark and before it snows. Just out in the park behind the house. I forgot to take the camera with. Sorry. There was ice on the duck ponds. It didn't look very thick, but there was a good sized rock (like football sized) on top of it in one place. We went over to the playground (if you can call a slide and a swing a playground) so the boys could get some outdoor time--it's been a while. Anders made "sand castles." Nils did the slide all by himself. It's about 4ft. high, so I stood behind him as he went up the ladder. And his tendency is to just walk on the platform until the slide takes him down, so I kind of had to help make sure he sat before he got to the slide. But he pretty much did it by himself. He even enjoyed the going down part. They grow up quickly, don't they?
