Friday night we went ice shaggin'. We took turns riding the bike on the lake and pulling each other on the sled. We were all geared up from boots to goggles to headlights. Oh yeah we were stylin'!
We had so much fun ice shaggin' we went out Saturday afternoon and bought ice skates. We went ice skating for an hour or so on Saturday night. Because it was dark we were too scared to go out far in the lake. We even made a plan on what to do if one of us fell through the ice. We really didn't have any idea how thick the ice was, all we really knew was that it was holding our weight and not cracking, yet anyway.
So Sunday afternoon we went back out skating. The first WINTER WEEKEND ADVENTURE in the light of day. This time we could see the ice and beyond. We took a chance, venturing out, skating all the way across the lake and back. With our breaths held we made it.
We thought we would be cool and buy some hockey sticks and a puck. We really bought the sticks to help us balance, but ended up being able to skate around and pass the puck to each other. And yes we even had the bright idea to take our stunt kite out on the ice to see if it'd pull us along on our skates . . . no luck with that bright idea!
It was getting cold, we were tired, we had been out playing for hours. Just one more run. You know when you say "just one more" you should have quit while you were ahead.
WHAM BAM SMACK CRACK - that was the sound of Rojelio's head meeting the ice . . . well let's just say that's enough of that . . .
I'm sure we'll go again once Rojelio recovers and Annie gets over the trauma of it all.
All in all a good time was had!

Oh my gosh- I'm glad he was ok. Ice hockey was huge up in Minnesota- a lot of the guys wore helmets becuase that was a common accident.
Gald you're enjoying winter!
