Note To Self...

If you take the kids as well as Megan and the grandkids to the park in the winter, be careful. Just because the sun is bright and shiny doesn't mean it isn't COLD (especially when the wind is blowing). The kids may be so excited to be at the park that they run to the play equipment and go down the slide before you can get there to see that there might be some ice and water pooled at the bottom that the kids will slide into and the ice will then go flying and the child is left sitting in a VERY cold icy puddle of water (brrrr) with pants completely drenched. Two kids may do this (since there are two slides at this park) before you get a chance to survey what is going on! Park visit will then be abruptly ended and off you go to change clothes (which adds to Megan's Mt. Washmore) and make "hot chocolate"! Mmmmmm!

PS We found the teddy bear! (Whew)
