Walking on Water

These are pictures of a few weeks ago.  The weather was quite warm for over a week, like in the 40's, so lots of stuff was melting.  It was a very nice day out so we didn't set up our ice shack. 

You could see almost the bottom of the ice, which we estimate to be over 3 feet deep.  This was an old ice fishing hole someone had drilled at some time and now was frozen over. 

These are some cracks in the ice.  It is kind of hard to tell from the picture, but the cracks are at different depths.  Kind of like looking at clouds, you can find all sorts of shapes and creatures.

Tate had just got done with hockey practice, but he was still ready to play.  And since the surface was pretty smooth he had fun practicing some stick handling.

And yes that is a large puddle of water he is skating out of, just like "walking on water."

This picture goes to show how little snow we have, even the mountains are scarce of snow.
