Pond Hockey

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!

I personally think that is action shot is wicked cool!

I was out for a walk with Lily this evening and watched the sunset from a hill out behind our house. It is my favorite place to sit and think. Here are some pics I took with my phone.

The sunset from the field behind our house. That is my finger in the corner.

The view from the hill I like to sit on. You can see along the power lines
from probably two miles. It is really cool.

My faithful side kick admiring the view. Lily loves it out there.

The play is TOMORROW!!!!!!!

In case you didn't know, my sister is directing a play, The Scarlet Pimpernel. If you don't know the story, here is a little over view. The story takes place during the French revolution. It is about the original Special Forces, a band of Englishmen that have formed a secret league with the sole purpose of rescuing French aristocrats, who were condemned to death, from their fate at the guillotine. The leader of their group is careful to hide his identity and is known only to his closest followers. To the rest of the world, he is know as "The Scarlet Pimpernel." He is as resourceful as he is cunning and leaves the keenest of French spies baffled by his identity and tactics. That is, until the French government enlists a man who is equal to enigma in skill and deduction and is as evil as the Englishman is good. He uses kidnapping and blackmail, along with other dastardly deeds, to lay the perfect trap to catch the hero, leaving one person, a girl stuck in the middle of it all, as the only way of escape. It ends with and epic battle of wits, landing the Scarlet Pimpernel in the lap of his greatest enemy. The question is this; is he cleaver enough to out wit the fox to save his life, along with the life of loved ones and those depending on him with their own?
