We took a trip to a small frozen pond today not too far from here, without skates, to check it out. There were 3 small shoveled ice rinks with nets set up and an assortment of hockey playing citizens. We walked past them to the pond beyond, which seemed endless and ripe for a shoveled maze of sorts. We spent the next three hours playing and shoveling and enjoying the beautiful setting - it felt like we were nestled into a cozy spot surrounded by hills and mountains. It was cold, but so delightful that none of us at all felt cold. We shoveled mazes, slipped on the ice, chopped a hole to find out how the thick the ice was (about 8" and we used an ax), climbed up to see and chop a frozen waterfall, created an icy sculpture, and took a selfie. All of it was just so good.
