House on Red Corner

First Snow in Mass

Yay! It snowed last yesterday, not a whole bunch just a few inches, but the sidewalks were covered when we woke up. It was also nice a chilly when we headed out the door to church. We have started shopping around for a new church to attend up here. So we walked to one nearby, it was in a nice building and had an interesting children’s service and class. We actually stayed with TheBubster through this, then we went upstairs and rejoined the service for communion. Since, we all got really really hungry at the same time, we slipped out the back and headed to a nearby diner.

After we fueled, we took the T, that’s what everyone calls the subway system, to the Boston Commons, or The Commons. EJ rans around in the snow, got into other people’s photos, and finally ended up with us on a frozen pond covered in snow. That was my first time skating on natural ice, and with a layer of snow on it, there was something really neat about it. EJ had fun just lying on the ground for a while and then she helped me shovel the snow, some guy showed up looking to play some hockey and had a shovel. Then she and Steph wandered off chasing a dog that was running around on the ice.

When we headed bac, EJ was wet and tired and fell asleep in my arms on the T. Another perfect outing by the Eckenrode Family.
