The Pond.

On Saturday we went to the pond. 

It was completely frozen over- minus the fisherman holes. 

We saw someone catch a three inch fish while we were sliding around and

the pirates were intrigued.

At one point the ice cracked a teeny tiny bit, 

and the pirates went wild. 

They screamed and scampered, 

but it looked like a slow motion comedy.

Pirates on Ice.

I laughed so hard on the inside. 

Eventually, I coaxed them back on and by sunset they were begging to stay.

When Robs suggested next time we try this with knives on our shoes, 

I added outdoor ice skating to our list of winter things to do.
