Kids having fun

Heather took the kids Ice Skateing last Wednesday evening at the Town's lake, Nottingham Lake. The ice is about 8 to 10 inches thick right now and will only get thicker. They really enjoyed using their new skates. The first five pictures are of them at the lake ice skating. They used the contraptions that look like walkers some, since there is not a rail. The ice rink at Beaver Creek has a rail around it that they hold onto. Isaac and Olivia didn't use the walkers the whole time, but I believe Boyd needed it most of the time. You can probably tell they wore themselves out.

The next two pictures are of the playground in Eagle that I've shown before. Isaac went sledding with a friend so I took Olivia and Boyd to the playground. Olivia is having a hard time with Isaac having his own friends. Isaac has gotten old enough that his friends don't want to always have his little sister around. I dread the day that they actually hope she is around. The playground was full of elk tracks and the kids favorite, elk poop. There is a herd of around 100 that has came down out of the snow coverd mountains to take up residence in the valley for the winter. They have been all over the golf course, playground and yards. They were hanging out feeding across a field while we were there, so we couldn't get closer than 300 yrds or so.
