Yesterday we had some friends over for a little ice skating on the lake. Last week, Ryan cleared off some of the lake and got it ready for skating, but with the recent thaw and refreeze, that section was on the only part of the lake not ready for good skating. Luckily, pretty much the rest of the lake was great skating, if a little bumpy.
Grampy tries on his new skates.
Kate checks out the ice.
Marty borrows Maeve's skates, he didn't want to give them up when he was done! Guess we will need to get him his own pair.
Jay, Lizzie and Ryan.
Here is Alison watching the plane on the right. It went over head a few times and then came down low and waved the wings at us. Someone around the cove uses this plane all summer, so it was fun to see it in the winter too! I hear there were a few other fancy tricks that I didn't get on my camera too.
Lot's of fun!
Fuzzy, but I didn't want to miss Bob's birthday. Happy birthday Bob! Laura, Rosa, Brittany, Joy, Lizzie, Marty and Dad are also in the photo.
The ice started pushing to shore in the past few days, still plenty cold and thick, but not great for skating like this.
We got some of the college friends together for a pic right before they left.
I am hoping we can do this every year, it is a great way to break up the winter! We are hoping to get our skates back on today, we don't want to miss out on this good ice before it snows again.
