His best comment of the day- IT LOOKS LIKE A GIANT ICE CUBE !!!



I love the lake and all that it represents ...

Love the ice cube comment!!!!!!! My son didn't want to walk on the ice either, but I kind of tricked him into it, and you are so right about that type of caution! One of the guys I work with made a derogatory comment today about my son being too cautious and a baby, and I just told that guy that in that instance I was happy my son was cautious -- better to not walk on the ice and not take the chance of falling through than being stupid and just jumping onto it!!!!!! I took the precautions the night before the outing to check ice depths, however, and watched others walk across to determine the path I felt most safe. (And I will admit, I was a bit leery myself -- it's been a long bit since I walked on the Lake myself!)
