Edgewater park in the fog.
So Lake Erie is starting to thaw! It was 45 and sunny today! Spring might actually be a thing that is possible! And it's all causing some crazy awesome Great Lakes weather. Of course I had to take the kids to check it out.
We stopped by Edgewater Park on the way home from school today. And it was basically an alien landscape.
The blue skies and sunshine against a crazy thick fog and still iced over lake well... I really wish I had brought my good camera:
Although I probably had too much to manage what with 3 small kids and the dog...
They were super into climbing on the rocks. Which was all sorts of fun:
Although 2/3 kids have NO FEAR which... yeah it made for a bit of yelling when the girl was determined to climb to the lake.

| Seriously, child. You are making me nervous. |
I don't think she quite realized that Lake Erie was the giant ice cube in front of her. Once that was clear she wanted to walk on it. Which, no. Not with little ones. Not during a thaw.
Although we did check out the beach.
Kindof. I realized that sand + melting ice = a terrible plan. So we drove around to the pier and checked that out instead:
On the way home we stopped off at our city view place taking bets along the way about if we would be able to see the sky line. It's usually a great view - Lake Erie in the foreground, Cleveland in the background. I've posted that shot here many times. I figured it was about a 50/50 chance of seeing the city. Turns out I was right. We could see 50% of the city:
My daughter thought it looked like someone erased the bottom half. Word:
Yay for spring!
