Winter Fun

In the coldest months, ponds and lakes freeze solid, providing natural skating rinks.  Children and adults alike take to the ice for recreation or sport.  Throughout the season, loops and figure eights are lightly carved into the ice. 

Blizzards and snow squalls provide fresh new supplies for snowmen, snow forts, and snow angels.  Each dusting creates a new canvas for the winter artists.  Children spend hours playing and creating frosty works of art before going inside to thaw and maybe warm up with a cup of hot chocolate.

Though the season may sometimes seem dark and dreary, with the right motivation winter fun is limited only by the imagination.
