Ice

For the last couple of days we have been doing a lot of this - ice skating on Lee Lake out in Bells Flats.  It is sort of amazing that there is ice.  The Lake at Abercrombie was not even frozen on Christmas Day and yet we had good skating out at bells Flats.  Stuey and his cousins all use long blade skates with nordic ski boots attached.  Nora uses hockey skates and I am on figure skates.

Yesterday the highlight of my time on ice was a game of football.  It was super hard to anticipate both your own and the receiver's momentum and throw a complete pass.

The ice was not the smoothest I have ever seen, but it was hard to beat the sunshine!
