Some of my fondest childhood memories had to do with school skip days with my siblings Sabrina, Kenny and Stephanie (my sister from another mother)… ahem, I mean sick days. We’d spend all day snorting and crying from the insane amounts of laughter. We’d sneak outside with our hearts beating through our chests from the fear of getting caught by neighborhood adults or even the POPO’s (police). By the way, I was 8ish, give or take a year.
I remember one crisp day going out barefoot and slipping on the concrete like we were on an ice rink. I remember the care free emotions that I had deep in my heart. I can see the details of that day. I remember wishing that time would have been frozen along with the frozen icicles hanging from our roof tops.
These are some of the pivotal moments in my childhood.
Today while Nate and Lana were home sick, I snuck outside (not barefoot… I’m not that crazy) to enjoy the ice, as I did as a child, on my way to checking the mail, only this time I DID freeze time.

Nice story. It reminds me of my times with my 7 brothers and sisters and 2 others from another mother. Those were some awesome days. We might not get snow, but ice can be just as fun;) Pics are awesome! I love the way you capture the feel of a season.
