Walking on Thin Ice

Not that I'm in trouble or anything...

Behind and across the street from my house is this little woodsy area with a stream/creek thing. In the summer, it isn't incredibly fun because there's ticks everywhere, and it's sort of muggy.

In the winter, however, it freezes over, and is great fun to slide around on. The trick, though, is that not all of it freezes over, and part of it is slush, really cold water, or paper-thin ice.

Today I walked Ginger down there, and for awhile, everything was all fun and games. Then we walked a bit farther, and it turned into slush. It was getting really cold, so we started sliding back home.

Let's just say I found out that my boots aren't waterproof.
