Ice Skating and the Cowlitz River

 

We had a nice visit with Josh, Debbie and the boys today.  They were on the way to Portland to ice skate.  Right away Jordon got out the car carrying helicopter and filled it with Hot Wheel cars.

The remote control helicopter needs new batteries as it was having trouble flying over the edge of the coffee table.  It has been several years since I changed them and they have gotten lots of use.

I was wondering why the boys had gloves and stocking caps on until Debbie told us they were going skating, then I understood! 

Debbie sent me this picture of them at the skating rink.  She said it is a temporary one they set up in downtown Portland.  She said Jordon loved skating but Jacob was content to be pushed around on the seal sled.

We made a run to the Post office and picked up the mail.  Afterwards we drove down to Lions Pride Park to check the river.  It looks like it is 3 or 4 feet higher than the last time we went by it.
