We decided to try something different so we headed down to Saugatuck yesterday since it was a beautiful, sunny day and almost warm (ok, it was 30 degrees but compared to what we have had it was ok).
We challenged the boys to climb to the top of Mt. Baldy. Jonathan was all for it, Matthew was not so happy. He made it three levels up and came back down. Jonathan and Jeff made it all the way to the top! There was a man and his dog there who were climbing it six times and we did see him do at least three laps while we were there.
While the boys were on the way back down Matthew decided he would meet them and he went at least half the way up. It wasn't an easy climb in the snow and we had not brought gloves with us.
On the way back into town we stopped at the state park and looked for signs of the lake. They said earlier this week that the ice cover stretches out eight miles off Grand Haven right now, not sure what it is in Saugatuck but there was no sign of open water as far as the eye could see there either. The boys bolted back to the car after being hit with that wind!
We rewarded the boys with ice cream cones at Kilwyn's and they said ice cream was a good way to "warm up". They also decided we should come back in the spring with Hayley and see if she will do the climb with them, I'm sure she would be happy to try!
