California Dreamin'

Pierce and Taylor in their pool last weekend.

While most of us would have to admit that this winter in Indiana hasn't been all that bad, at this point most of us are tired of the cold. I'm not talking about the 40 degree days with sunshine, or even those 34 days, but the extreme cold days of single-digit temperatures and biting winds.

We had a strange couple of days last weekend. Saturday it was so
pleasant that I didn't even wear a coat to the Dinner-Dance that evening. Then Sunday, we awoke to low temperatures and wind that literally took your breath away!

Monday morning, we received this picture from our brother-in-law, Eric, in Sacramento. It was sunshiny there over the weekend, with the thermometer making it up to the high 60's, so the twins, Pierce and Taylor, decided to take a "dip" in their backyard pool.

At 12 1/2, they were alot braver than most of us would have been. I don't know where big brother, Ryan, was at the time. He's 2 years older than the twins, so maybe he knew it would be a little chilly. As Eric said, " the water was probably only in the 50's and the boys didn't stay in too long.....still...."

Whoa! I don't even dip my toes in the water if it's below 68 degrees. (The water temperature, I mean.) But I think I've gotten wimpier as I've gotten older. I'm sure if I were 12, I'd be in the pool, too! :)

They are definitely more brave than I would be! It's always nice to have a warmer day every now and then to get through the winter...
