Ice Rinks

Saturday was spent doing the usual running around and we got home, it was time to get to buiness building our backyard ice rink. All was going well and the kids where having fun jumping on the wood to press down the snow, until it was time to spray it down with water and of course the water would not come out it was frozen, we had even gone to the trouble of finding the hose and nozzle to do it. The kids where a little bit sad but then daddy had the great idea of going to the lake behind our house and clearing the snow off of there. They did a great job, but at this point the kids where getting cold so they came inside and Jamie continued to work which involved caring large water jugs full of water from our house to the lake to make it nice and smooth. After about 6 trips back and forth Jamie was done. Today will be the first day that they get to enjoy using it. It should be great and I know that is the first place that Darien is going to go. I will take some pictures and include them on this blog. The first pictures are the our attempt to make a rink in the back yard and the last ones of the real rink are on the lake behind our house. They had a great time.
