Heat wave

The heat wave continues!  It got to a beautiful 26 degrees today and now it's 7pm, still 21 degrees and I'm sitting here with the window open!  I'm loving day light saving too!

Note the soccer ball?  It appeared when the snow melted!

Usually it's around 4 or 5 degrees during the day so we've been trying to make the most of it before the weather returns to "normal" by the weekend.  Baby A, Little Miss D and I headed down to one of our local parks this morning to enjoy the warmth. 

I know my legs are pasty white but it is so nice to not wear boots, even socks!

We've been to this park a few weeks ago with Action Boy's class for some ice skating.  Things look a bit different now!  Little Miss D is standing in front of what was the public ice rink!  

This is the last of the ice.  Despite the warm weather, if it's in the shade it takes a while to melt.

These are tennis courts that have been converted into an ice rink as well.  This is a members only rink but there are similar free temporary rinks set up all over the place.  I'm by no means an expert but from what I understand when it's cold enough they flood the area and then wait for it to freeze over.  Simple, eh?

To really make the most of the weather, after school we walked into the village to try out another ice cream shop.  Apparently this ice cream was the best ever.  Until the next one...
