Watching the Ice Break

We went out to Fort Lincoln and got to watch the aftermath of the ice jam letting go on the Heart River - it was pretty crazy. The ice chunks were so gigantic. Some were blue and some were brown or clear. When they got to the confluence with the Missouri, they got stuck in this huge swirling icy eddy. We didn't stay long - it was deceptively cold out. We weren't dressed for it, and Ama had to get carried.

The Indoor Waterpark 4-09

We've gone to the waterpark at the Seven Seas a couple times this winter (to avoid cabin fever mostly). It's good exercise for the kids and they have fun, but we'd all rather be swimming in the river.
