Learning to Ice Skate & Crochet

Hi There Folks! 

 

My little sweetie, Gladys, is learning how to crochet.  Her first project is a pink scarf for Sophie.

She is doing awesome so far.  I'm happy to pass down one of my favorite hobbies.

Another of my favorite hobbies is ice skating.   I hiked out to the frozen Troll Tunnel with Glenn and the kiddies for some skating.  Yes, ya'all heard that right, Glenn went with.  Hehe  Oh, the Troll part is almost as amazing. 

It was a bright and sunny day, but bitter cold out.  The Troll Tunnel is about a half mile walk one way. 

Gladys was excited to try out her new pair of skates that she got for Christmas.

We didn't see any trolls the entire time, but we were being spied on.  Do you see the deer?

The tunnel ice was nice and solid for the most part.  The good thing about skating here is if the ice does crack, no one is going to actually drowned, as it's only a frozen mud puddle.

Troy kept watch for the Trolls.  He was rather concerned about them.

Gladys really got the hang of ice skating.

She did fall a time or two, but all in all, she did very well for a beginner.

By the time we were ready to hike back, she was starting to build up some speed.

You go Gladdie Girl!!
