Nice on ice

On Sunday afternoon, these three friends were skating around the ice rink at Clearwater Park just off Pilot Knob Road. I just happened to have my camera hanging around my neck inside my coat! 'Twas glorious to skate around outside with our daughters!

I wonder if the girl in the center plays hockey, as I noted her skates are different than the other two. Looks like it must have been a lovely, sunny day!

I'm sorry that I have never lived in a place where I could enjoy winter sports - I would love to have been able to enjoy ice skating as a kid. What fun!

Does everyone up there own a pair of skates?

Another advantage of growing up in the land of ice and snow.

Vielen Dank für Deine nette 'Welcome Back' Grüsse

Wie ich auf Deinen Bilder sehen kann liegt bei euch in Minnesota auch Schnee. Also hast Du auch ein Winterwonderland;-)

Looks like a pretty good day for Minneesota in ze wintertime!

How many times didst though fall on thy rump, mister Safe Leif sir?

You've done it again...we've got all kinds of CDP bloggers coming for lunch at Stone Creek. I'll happily pay the tab if you make their travel arrangements; which is only right since you got this particular ball rolling!

Lovely freezing day out! Gluehwein is the word after a bit of skating, a nice vin chaud!
