In the beginning of January we finally had a cold spell long enough for the pond to freeze. The children loved the fact that they were able to skate with their Amish friends every night! They had lights strung up over the pond and there are intense hockey games between the boys, while the girls skate in their area around the game. One night we went down and we were the only ones there, so I took the camera along and took some pictures. Enjoy!
We take a short cut through the fields on our way to the pond.
We put the light on top of the diving board, so we could see.
When all the Amish neighbors kids come down they bring their dads dewalt flashlights and hang them on a line that is hung across the pond. One night the line snapped and all was dark ( not good!) The next night all the neighbors pitched in and one got a string of lights, one got a generator and some got some gas and the pond was all lit up again.
Joy and Elainah have improved so much this year:D
We played a little hockey!
It is a ton of fun especially with 50 Amish friends!
That looks like a very big rink!
