But I think even stranger than the low temperatures is how much precipitation we have gotten (at least down here in WV). Last year it was worth getting excited if it started to flurry. But this year we have had snow on the ground for five weeks straight! Yes it has, Robert.

It looks like a lot of fun with plenty of ups and downs. I'll bet you all are really enjoying having a "skating rink" so close to the house this year. I've been enjoying some sledding and snowball fights here in Chicago but I haven't been able to go skating yet. It's been a pretty cold winter, hasn't it? So much for "global warming." ;-) What great shots! It looks like a lot of fun with plenty of ups and downs.

You sure did a great job at capturing perfect poses in the first 'ice skating' escapade. I would of never guessed 'the other side' :-).

We all couldn't stop laughing at that group picture. I guess what made it so funny was that we hadn't posed it. James was just quick on the draw there. I simply couldn't retain stability standing still! It was actually harder than while moving to keep your skates from moving out from under you (if you could at all!) I guess picture 4 is proof of that. Good times. ;) What fun. We all couldn’t stop laughing at that group picture. I guess what made it so funny was that we hadn’t posed it.

I'm surprised nobody was hurt. And I can't believe that the pond froze for so long. Esther and I skated 10 times! You are so right! I’m surprised nobody was hurt.
