Two days later, when the six little Bunkers got out of bed, they found that the weather had turned warmer, and that it was raining.
"Oh, now the nice snow will be all gone!" cried Rose.
"And we can't make any more snow men and forts," added Russ.
"But you can have fun when it freezes," said his father.
"How?" asked Laddie.
"You can go skating," was the answer. "There is a pond not far from Grandpa Ford's house, and when it freezes, as it will when the rain stops, you and the others can go skating."
"I can skate a little," announced Russ.
"So can I," said Laddie. "Did we bring any skates?"
"Yes, we packed some from home," replied his mother.
"I want to skate!" exclaimed Mun Bun.
