It started snowing mid December and stayed well below freezing long enough for the pond in our neighborhood to freeze over. The pond backs up to a family with five kids who all play hockey. So we were in for a treat since they shovel the snow off, test the ice to make sure it is safe, and keep it smooth for skating and playing hockey. They even set up spotlights at night! Matt bought the kids skates and they had the best time skating and playing hockey over Christmas break. I haven't found skates in my size yet, but had fun sliding around. One of our neighbors even got his four wheeler out, hooked up a sled to the back and took the kids on rides. I LOVE having free, fun, and physical entertainment right (almost) in our backyard!! It makes winter so much more fun and enjoyable!!
