Finally!

The weather has been so crazy around here - a foot of new snow one day, 40 degrees and rainy the next, freezing rain the next - who can keep up!!! It has taken it's toll on Joel's back yard ice rink. Yesterday was the first day that the rink was really READY. So, out we went to test it out. Anna had a great time making up games to play with the hockey pucks and is continuing to get better at skating. It was a pretty nice day here, for a winter day. The sun was out and Joel thought it was downright balmy outside - notice the lack of coat and gloves :-) Joel could have stayed out there all day dressed like that - I was bundled and only lasted for about 1/2 an hour :-) It's a good thing that we got our skating in yesterday, because today it is 40 and rainy and the rink is in sad shape. There is more snow coming tomorrow, so who knows when the rink will be "READY" again :-)
