Later, after swooping up Eli from school, we went skating.

We had some girls hanging out at the skatepark with us too, no big deal.

On Friday a storm, that someone named “Nemo”, came through New York shutting the city down, canceling my annual trip to Colorado, and sending everyone to their local parks looking to play.

We got a dusting of snow the other weekend and pretended it was a couple feet. We went to a park close and tried to make the most of it. I copied some other people that were already in the park and started making these snow cones.

Savannah wasn’t feeling it, she didn’t even want to set foot in the park.

Andy helped her try and have fun anyway. Smashing.
