A few weekends ago we went for a family drive on a Sunday afternoon and ended up cruising around Beeds Lake State Park in Hampton, where we stopped and let Keston roam around on the extremely stiff lake surface. At first he was rather tenative about venturing forth on such a wide-open expanse, but he soon got his bearings and, had we not stopped him due to the many bare ice patches, would have gone for bust until he froze solid. He loved it! As it was, he was quite blue-cheeked by the time we called it time to quit and spent a good time in the car under many blankets warming up.
As is usual with these family outings, we took along the camera and between me and Yolanda, got some great shots of him having the time of his life. And yes, his eyes really ARE that blue, amazing, isn’t it?
- Whoa! Stiff water!
- Help me walk, Daddy!
- If I go deep enough, I’ll find a fish!
- Outta here!
- Wow it’s cold!
- Next mountain, here I come!
- Watch me go!
- C’mon, Dad! It’s fun!
- Yay!
- Tiny Footprints
- Just Shufflin’ Along
- True Blue
- Keston & Daddy Posing
- The Long Road Ahead
- Warm and Happy!

He seems to find wonder in everything
I can’t believe how big he’s gotten. Stunning eyes, too
Yeah, its official (if it weren’t already) I have the cutest nephew EVER!!!!
Wow, his eyes are beautiful! Very blue! Great photos, not too sure I’m OK with the little guy walking on a frozen lake . . . EEK! Looks like he had fun though.
We don’t even have frozen puddles around here.

Heh….the lake was probably frozen over with 12, maybe 15 inches of ice, more than enough to drive on, let alone have someone walk on, so we were all perfectly safe.
Wow, What a little cutie!
Hey Nathan — You and Yolanda were out on the Lake and you didn’t knock on our door?
Next time you take Keston out for some winter wonderland time you better stop by for some hot chocolate before you go home…got it?…lol Besides, I haven’t seen you, Yolanda or the cutie pie for a long time..:)
Gina Vosburgs blog: too many projects!
Ok, we’ll be sure to do that — of course, we might get put to work, too!
It looks like you guys had so much fun on a great winter day. He is a cutie and those blue eyes are amazing!
You are getting great images with you camera! Beautiful. I can practically feel the cold chill.

Also, “cold chill” is like “Department of Redundancy Department.” Ugh. Sometimes I am disgusted by the things I write.
