Ah, home-sweet-home :)
--No more of that perpetual Spanish sunshine, give me seasons!!
(haha, I'm still not sure how serious I am about that statement...but I have definitely enjoyed experiencing natures' extremes up here!)
It was actually warming up quite a bit by now (well, coming closer to the 0 degree mark!) and we checked off one of my winter goals just in the nick of time: ice skating on the ocean!
(-By the next week, the ice had already started to melt! -no worries though, it was still VERY solid this week!)
(This is the OCEAN - isn't that nuts??!!)
Every year they plow a circuit around the islands for ice skating/sledding/walking/etc. It's SO COOL!!!
We went with some of our favorite people, and even shared sandwiches and hot chocolate on the ice (-Swedes know how to enjoy this climate ;)!
Davin's first attempt at ice skating-
(we'll try again next year ;)
We had fun pushing our kiddos around the plowed track in strollers-
-As well as just walking around and exploring-

-Alec's worried because his glove fell off!
Yes, that's my son licking the ice ;)
We had a TON of fun - I absolutely loved it. I mean, for a California girl to go skating on the ocean - that's pretty radical! ;)
Anyway, I totally recommend it to anyone looking to do something completely different (like totally outside their normal climate-zone!)!
