Ice Skating and an Ice Castle

Our "date" this week consisted of icy things. It was very cold but felt downright balmy compared to last week. We decided to get some exercise by skating around on the smooth little rink over by the Spicer school. They smooth the ice there and have a warm place to put on your skates. I am a bit weak ankled since the last time I went ice skating! Andrew brought his hockey stick and puck and played around a little.We then headed over to the edge of Green Lake where it is a tradition to build an ice castle out of lake ice blocks. This is a picture from the local paper showing it being built.And these are my pictures of my first castle experience!

Wow - what beautiful castles!
Looks so cold - not much like the weather here (we broke records)!
