skating the pond

On Friday night we were invited, along with a group of friends, to skate on the pond behind Christine's house. Actually this pond is behind our house too, much to my surprise. Christine's place backs onto another section of the green space that runs behind our house...

If we worked really hard {just as Christine and her boys did to clear this section of the pond} we could make a path to skate from our home to hers...

And I thought the trees behind our home were just pretty. Little did I know the area contained all this!You can see the pond was a little slushy from the spring-like weather that day, but it did not stop R from skating. Miss S skated a bit, and played in the puddles a bit more...

After our skate we enjoyed some chili and hot dogs, and when it got a little darker we roasted marshmallows on the bonfire.

It was a perfect winter day!

Ok how incredibly cool is that?

See and you thought the woods were just where the scary monsters lived, oh and wild flamingos!!

Maybe keep this little secret spot in the woods to yourself and then you won't have to share it with your other neighbors.

Just imagine how cool it will be in the spring!
