ABC Wednesday - I




I is for Ice Hockey.......




ice hockey skater in the winter



This was the coldest day of the winter last year.


We grabbed our ice skates and went to the park in town that maintains a pond for public skating.


Twice around the pond was all I could stand with the wind chill. The boys shuffled the hockey puck around a few more minutes before they joined me in the car for a warm up.


Back out for a few minutes with the camera, then we were off for a hot chocolate warm-up.

  1. Hi KML, now that's something we can never do here in the south U.S., at least we can never to it outside. It just doesn't freeze hard enough here. And so, of course, no one has ice skates. It's a lovely thing to see and to imagine you whirling around, if only for a couple of times, before you got some hot chocolate.

  6. mrsnesbitt - I had your same experience on skis - once was enough for me!

    annie, peter, jean, and dot, it's great for little bit, then the warmer climates start to seem awfully inviting.

  7. Living in California, we don't get any snow so we have to resort to ice skating rinks. I'm not good on ice, but my bottom seems to like it.

  14. "C" is for comments:) I thought it's winter so soon but oh, it's last year. I tried it once at a local lake last winter, it was freezing but it's nice for a change

  15. I find it hard enough just standing up on skates without having to contend with a puck as well. Great photo.
