Winter in Iowa

 Hello all!  Here are the photos I mentioned last post that I took with my cell phone (apologies ahead of time for photo quality) on our weekend out to check out Smith Lake and Call Park here in town.  Another work update/ post on it's way!  Hopefully this weekend (I'm thinking Saturday).  Happy Winter/ Pre-Spring y'all!  I still am not sure who the readers are of this blog, but I do appreciate and am thankful to you guys, whoever you may be!

  Although the stores around here on the 'Main St.' are dressing their windows for Spring it's just a wee way's away for us living here in the Midwest.  But truly that's okay because I know my son and us as a fam still have a bit more snow adventuring to do.  Over at Smith Lake they place an old car (in this case a 'race car') on the frozen solid waters and have wagers as to when it'll start to sink in.  The person who guesses the right day or so wins a prize.  It's hard to know right now when the water will start melting while there's still quite a few people who are all set up with their ice-shacks enjoying some ice-fishing.  Enoch was super pumped to explore the frozen scene but not at first, he was pretty weary.  We drove our car out on the lake for a short spell.  Then C and Enoch decided to head out on foot.  It was his (little man's) first time stepping out on a frozen lake.
