Pond hockey is awesome! Best game ever created except for maybe Manhunt! Holly and I have been tending an ice rink we made with our neighbors be clearing the snow off of part of a pond down below our house. it is a good sized rink; probably thirty feet by fifty or sixty feet. So last week, we decided we wanted to host a game of pond hockey with some of our friends from scouts and the play. After we set our plans in ice, I promptly went and came down with the flu/bug and was laid up the entire week in bed with a fever. (By the way, thanks to everyone for your prayers and notes. I don't think I've ever gotten so get well notes! I think everyone wanted me to get better so that we could do hockey.)
Anywho, hockey didn't happen last week, but my mom was nice and let us invite our friends over yesterday to beat on the little rubber disk for three and a half hours. I had a blast! Here are some of the pictures from it! Thanks to Holly for taking them. She played for quite a while (and skunked everyone, I might add...) the saw how bad she was making me look and hopped of the ice to then impress everyone with her photography skills!
