Waldner Arena - Part 1

We've fully embraced living in the Northeast by taking the plunge - putting up an ice rink in our backyard! The kids are SO excited...Reagan can practice her twirls and spins (jk!) and Jack can play hockey with his buddies. Matt has even put up a little firepit so that we can make smore's and keep warm on the frigid nights that the kids insist on skating!

(HUGE thanks to my Dad for helping Matt put it together - they did a GREAT job even though we had to have a professional come in and fix it! ha!)

I won't go into detail about the headaches this rink has given us...but it's up & the water is in it. Now Mother Nature - PLEASE bring us some cold temps!!!!

Here are some pictures of the rink being set up...and once we start skating on it, I'll add more pics to the blog!

a shot of the firepit too!
