This winter, since we knew we wouldn't be going anywhere fun or doing much of anything, we knew we needed something to engage the kids at home. Backyard ice rink! While it seemed like a crazy idea at first, and after we failed at flooding the first time and we got all that snow and the water under the ice came up and soaked the snow making it almost impossible to shovel, and after it seemed like it would freeze and unfreeze every other day, the weather has finally kept it frozen and smooth. The kids use it almost every day. The boys are getting steadier and the girls are working on fancy skating and tricks.
They've even been doing a fantastic job helping to clear it when it snows. Today it was snowing so hard, they had to shovel while skating just to be able to keep going!
