Tickles in the Snow

Daddy came home for a short visit, and since he wanted to spend some time in the backyard, so did we.  Dale helped Daddy by raking the snow.

Snow farmer Dale.

Rose had a different approach with the snow.  She chose to throw it her innocent mother instead.

And she thought it was hilarious.

Then the tickle war began.  Mark and I use it as a tactic to keep the kids entertained in the backyard.  We hand them a "tickle stick" and start running.  It works every time.

Dale and Rose got Daddy good.

This is what the kids look like when they are chasing after you with their torture devices "tickle sticks."

Happy determination.
