Looks like you all are having a good ol' time. Cher

Hey Rainey, I think that's wonderful! My dad used to do that for us when I was a boy as well. Back then nobody wore a helmet and I think maybe I fell on my head one too many times.

You should get yourself a hockey stick as well. Girls can play hockey too!

Glad to see you all having fun!

As for our little backyard pond, we have to keep it from freezing. We have 10 or so good sized goldfish that we leave out there all year round & need to keep the water moving in order for them to survive. We use to bring them inside for the winter until they got too big. The pond isn't big enuff for skating anyways.
