Second year Day 190 - Saturday June 21, 2014

Today Bridgett was remembering about one of her friends in high school...Annie Egley. She said to me, didn't we get to her house by leaving the log house and turning right up the highway and then driving out there for a while to another little town?  Yes, it was Kila I told her.  She remembers going to their house and hanging out.  She was also thinking about the creek at our log house, and how it would dry up in the summer many years.  Also we talked about how Mark would "smooth" it out with the plow attached to the four wheeler when it was iced up so that we could try to ice skate on it.  Still Woodland Park was a better place for ice skating, but it was kind of fun to be able to ice skate at the house.  I used to take the kids ice skating and also to play ice hockey at Woodland Park.  I taught all of the kids to ice skate.  It was a tradition of ours to go to Woodland Park on Christmas Day (except when it was on a Sunday) and go ice skating, while Mark had a nap at home.  It was something at the kids and I really liked to do together.  When we first moved out here we ice skated her as well.  Mark found a way to drive down to the lake here and plow the ice as well, but it was much bumpier here and actually didn't work at all:(
