Well, that was fun, wasn't it? We have finally thawed out. I didn't realize how long Grasshopper was on that ladder until I watched the videos. I couldn't have hung on that long. Three cheers for Grasshopper! 

It's a good thing that we did the dip on Monday 'cause we couldn't have done it on Tuesday. The ice got that rotten over night that we would not have been able to walk out to the pool. 

 

Did I tell you that it snowed last Saturday?
