It's Frozen Over!

Ha roo, pups and kit-cats! Zim here, reporting in on where I got to go yesterday! Remember I told you my mom said maybe we could go for a ride yesterday? Well, the day started out mighty cool!

First, me and Ammy took Mom for a walk. We went really far, so I thought maybe that would mean "no ride". That would have been cool enough, 'cause we had great fun! Unfortunately, Mom had download malfunctions with the pix, but she did manage to save one from our walk!

Me and Ammy hit a roadblock

We thought we should just go right over it, but Mom seemed to think going around it was a better idea. How is that a better idea?

After we walked and walked, Mom took Storm and Dave on a walk. Same deal with the downloading; here's the one she saved from their walk:

Dave and his shadow

Stormy was there, just the ones of her got zapped into the ozone or something.

So, that really would have been a cool enough adventure for one day really... but shortly after she got back with Storm and Dave, she whispered those words I love to hear, "Hey Zimmie! Want to go for a ride?" WOWZERS, did I!

I'll save the drama and tell you straight up - we went to the Kansas Ocean! And guess what?!?! It was frozen over! Check it out:

Wowzers! The Kansas Ocean has frozen over!

Who knew oceans could freeze solid like that?!?

There were cool tracks across the snow, too. Take a look (you can click it to go to FlickR):

Maybe one of the coyotes I hear singing at night? Mom thought the tracks made an interesting pattern and was fixated on photographing them and a bunch of scenery stuff. That was fine; it gave me time to do this (this is for our friend Bren!):

Ha roo in there?

Mom just loves it when I do that. Not really. She's afraid of what I might come up with. I was just snoofing around, though!

We walked all around that side of the ocean, just enjoying a day at the beach! Sadly, it got up to 30 and was sunny, so the Snow Thief came and took a lot of our lovely snow away. You can see that (or not, as the case may be) here:

We were on the sunnier shore of the ocean. And Mom may still be wearing her jacket that makes her feel like the Michelin Woman , but she did go glove-less for a while!

We walked over by the bridge that I've shown you, and the water wasn't frozen there. Mom took a cool picture of our shadows. I thought we should have a postcard made from it! Here, check it out!

I'll bet someone starts up a quaint little gift shop on the Kansas Ocean boardwalk and sells them! Guess we need a boardwalk first, though...

I hope you enjoyed our trip to the Kansas Ocean; I know I did and so did Mom! It's a beautiful place - no matter what the weather!

Play bows,

Zim
