Ahhh yes, our ice is back now too, not a very long respite from the cold eh? How do you keep your girls' water thawed?
The little boathouse...I have no clue what it's used for, I'll have to go creep on it in the summer and find out. The tide was pretty high, so it would be quite the jump down if a boat were tied up there to that dock.
I have never snorkelled before though I would love to learn!
