The ice is setting up nicely on our backyard rink. Chris has hopes to turn our firepit into a warming station.
Emma has decided that she'd like to try hockey skates. Pink blade guards add that feminine touch.
At 20+ years old, Chris and my skates are looking rather worn.
In 2001, Chris's skates went to Russia and back.
I've made Chris promise to take loads of pictures and video on Friday while I'm at work. Hopefully, I can get some ice time on Saturday!

Was wondering how the rink was coming along. What a crazy fun backyard addition!
Miss Josie's skates are the cutest skates I've ever seen!
I hope it all works out and there will be hours and hours of fun!
I am so jealous- Your ice is starting to look like a rink. We are going to have to flood ours with water from the bay because MyHero thinks it should take up half the backyard (about 1/2 acre). Ummm...really....I don't want to talk about it!;>) xo Diana
Where did Chris hide the Zamboni? hehe...
Chris =]
Fun family happening . . . I can't wait to see the photos . . .
Looks like fun. The girls skates are so cute!
Wow...that is so cool! :) Awesome that Chris skated in Russia! Wish I could come over and skate with you. :)
Hope you are skating by weekend! What an amazing thing to have skated in Russia! My husband is quite the hockey player as well. Must be that Michigan blood! Have fun! Elizabeth
That is so cool that you have your own skating ring! You guys have a interesting and FUN life!
Thanks for the kind comment about my living room!
Happy Weekend.
Warmly,

Enjoy your rink this weekend! The girls look great in their gear, and that hockey tooth smile is perfect.
That is so amazing that you can make your very own ice skating rink! Your girls must be very excited!
Your Chris is such a handy man! What a fun idea, you will have such good memories out there!
