We’ve been so busy with the houses (old and new) since November, that we’ve hardly had any quality time to spend with the kids. So today, after school, we decided to tackle our first backyard project. A skating rink!
The yard had a big part in our decision to purchase the house. It’s huge! Well, considering it’s in the city that is. A skating rink is just one of the many things we want to do with it. It doesn’t look like much yet as you can see, but soon enough it will. I can already picture the kids skating around under strands of white lights that will go from tree to tree… I can’t wait. For now though, spending time outside with the kids getting it ready is a welcome change from the current renovation chaos.
