Ice Sickles All Around



Tuesday morning we awoke to snow blanketing the ground and the goats excited for the breakfast that suddenly lay at their feet. The temperature was warm and the day beautiful. We decided to take a trip to see ice sickles. I couldn't wait to share them with the younger boys. So, a trip to Old Man's Cave was quickly decided.




















It was a quick trip, but well worth it. We had so much fun slipping down hills, touching icy moss, and having a snowball fight. I especially enjoyed the kids' excitement as they pointed out all the ice crystals.We left soaked, tired, and hungry, but thankful that we got to spend the day enjoying God's beautiful creation. It won't be long before the ice is melted in the cavern. These warmer winter days are the perfect time to take a trip to see the beautiful ice sickles. Make sure none fall on you though :)

By Saturday evening, the snow at home was melted and the ground a muddy mess - Two beautiful opposites - signs that spring is nearing.
