The Great Thaw of 2011

Breaking out the scooter, despite the remaining snow.

Abby likes us to push her around on her princess scooter (thanks Gigi).

With temps in the 40s today and expected to remain through the week, the great thaw has begun! We had the cars washed and almost instantly dirtied them again driving home through all the puddles of melted snow. I'm sure by the end of the week the river will be up pretty high, flooding the bike path. Abby and Alex played outside with friends this afternoon and Brad finished shoveling off the sidewalks so they could get through on their bikes and scooters. We were all so happy to get outside and soak up some Vitamin D! Alex is looking forward to having outdoor recess this week as well. As long as the wind chill is above 20, they will head back out to the playground again!
