No picture for this one...

Mom (taken ill with cabin fever) needed to get the kids out of the house. And some place other than the grocery store. So with the snow melting away we found ourselves at the park. As we passed large puddles and muddy spots walking from the car to the playground, mom made sure to survey the area before letting Nathan run around. All clear, Nathan got back in the groove of the slide and swings instantaneously. He loved it but mom decided it might be easier to keep up with him if he was playing on the smaller play area so she didn't have to climb up after him as much. After less than a minute Nathan had tripped/face planted in an enormous puddle of ice cold water. After a long gasp, Nathan was quickly swooped up by mom who was also carrying Lexi in her car seat and all were in a mad dash for the car. Shivering and saying "Cody, cody...cody" (translation: Cold) Nathan was quickly stripped down and re-dressed in dry clothing and a warm blanket. Mom was never more grateful for the Emergency Preparedness Family Home Evening held about a month ago where we packed the car to be ready for anything. Thank heavens we were.
