The "Rink Saga"

So - Braden has decided that the kids should have a rink in the backyard and he's going to build it for them - and it has begun!  Today the weather was +12 Celsius (yep - everything melting like crazy) so he didn't have to worry about really shovelling a ton of snow out of the way to build it, just a little tiny bit!

Emma wants to help out (in -20 I don't know how fast she'll want to help flooding it) and she's doing a pretty good job too.  It's kinda funny because they've chosen the day with wind warnings to do it, so Emma's been running after the tarp - hehehe!

Hopefully tomorrow night we'll get the first layer of ice made and within a few days have it in working order.  It's a good thing that the temperatures are dropping, but not too much!  It should be around -10 or so for the next week - sounds like perfect skating weather!

Stay posted - more details and photos to come - hopefully of kids skating soon!!!
