Much to Craig's delight, our pond is frozen solid. Thanks to the super frigid temperatures we've been having lately, it froze earlier than usual...and is incredibly smooth. As Craig says, its about the nicest pond ice he's ever seen. Of course, he wanted to take full advantage.
The boys didn't argue a bit. They were more than eager to take a spin. (I, on the other hand, am a nervous nilly about them being on the ice. UGH! I am not a fan....I've covered one too many accidents on the ice.)
Connor took to it like a duck to water. He'd skated a bit last year and really loved getting back on the ice. Jackson was nervous at first...but it didn't take long for him to be skaing by himself.
Sawyer doesn't have skates yet...so he was in charge of removing the snow from the pond...and sliding around on his sneakers.
I must admit, I got a great deal of joy out of watching the boys having so much fun. They were so proud of themselves. It warmed my heart. :)
I overheard Connor and Jackson telling someone at church how cool their Dad was....he could skate faster then anyone!
