We spent a weekend in March up at the North Shore. We had plans of doing lots of hiking, but when we got to Gooseberry Falls we quickly realized that hiking was not in our near future. The trails were literally pure ice. There were spots that you could barely crawl, let alone hike. Even mommy and daddy wiped out a few times. It was just way too dangerous. So we cut our losses and headed to Larsmont. We spent the weekend playing on the rocks by the lake, breaking giant ice chunks, playing games, watching movies, staying up late watching hockey games, and lots and lots of swimming. We spent a lot of time talking, and lots of time just being quiet. Maybe even a little time falling asleep in front of the fire, snuggled up watching a hockey game late into the night. There were not a lot of stand-out moments, but countless little memories that I will cherish for a very long time. It felt so great to take a breath from our busy life and just soak in pure happiness.

This was the trail that we had planned to hike on.
As you can see it is just all ice and STRAIGHT
down past the fence. So, we improvised and the
kids slid on the ice instead! |

| We were determined to give it a fair try, but as you can see, even crawling wasn't working. |

| The kids broke the ice, slid on the ice, threw the ice and even tried to wear the ice! |
