Feels like spring

Winter is this amazing time of year where there is snow on the ground, water freezes up, snowman appear daily and the whole city is draped with a white blanket. This year winter has not arrived. What we have been receiving instead is an early preview of Spring. Today, in the middle of January, the temperature was 45 degrees. This has afforded my sister and I the opportunity to investigate some new parks in order to assure they meet the highest standards. This also provides me with extra outdoor time to jump, run and generally wreak havoc.

As for the other person in the photo, my dad says she has to be there to balance out the weight on the teeter-totter.
