If you build it..........

THEY WILL COME.......


Well maybe they will come......if it would get cold......so the one year we are on the ball and Chris got the boards up, the tarp ordered and laid out, the goals built, and the skates sharpened we spent the better half of December and January waiting.........it has been one of the warmest winters that I can remember and the first that we have been praying for freezing temps.


We thought about an outdoor hot tub if we could install a heating tank.....

But then finally it came! The below freezing temperatures came, and left, and came and left....and came and left.....So we have been skating and waiting and spraying down, and then skating and waiting and spraying down. Mother Nature is making Chris work for it this year.



But they definitely come in loads when the ice is out there. The kids have had a ball and their skills are improving!




Poppa taking a whirl at Goalie....




Brooke going for a spin.....she likes to give chair rides to the little ones.




She loves to be out there skating, hockey or just sliding.......it is the perfect winter playground.



Brady and Dad facing off....


Dad living the dream.....



The girls snuggling on the ice.

They love night skating under the lights........


school night - what's that? "can we go out and skate" & "10 more minutes"

We recruit any help we can get -funny enough this gets shoveled before our driveway at this point.....



apologies to all their teachers homework time has been officially replaced.


Here is Brooke making up a new sport blade ball........





So cross your fingers for a cold finish to the winter......we need the prayers......forecast for tomorrow almost 50 degrees......boo hoo........
