Skating on thin Ice ;)

Sorry, no pictures!

No, we don't have real skates. we just use our boots.
for Last Fridays Afternoon, Ponigirl, Ducki and I went out to the front two pastures' Ponds.
We skated and slid across the waters surface.
The Ice was thin on one of the ponds, and as we knew it would, it Broke underneath Ducki, who was was going on her 15th skate. it had small cracks, but it just sank instead of cracking, so Ducki had time to get out without getting wetter that she needed to be. ;)
After that we headed to the Wild west,(about 100 Acres of land in back of our house, owned by our Neighbor) all the way to Crest pond. (Another of our names for a Landmark. on one side, the pond has a high crest of clay.
) but we were to cold to skate. so Ducki and I cracked the Ice by the Edge.
then, I had an Idea. I took a large Slate of ice and threw it out like a skipping stone. it crashed into a thousand pieces and flew across the surface of the Water, Sounding like tinkling Diamonds.
so we Amused our selves that way for a time.
After awhile, we went home, ready to warm our red noses and drink Hot Chocolate.
