Backyard Ice Rink

You may remember this picture from Brode's birthday in September:

Brode got a backyard ice rink from Grandpa and Grandma for his birthday. We have been waiting and working on in ever since as it has many steps to it!

Frist the boys needed to order some boards and paint them. I got pictures in a text message while I was working.... this looks dangerous.

Next steps meant measuring out the rink and finding the most level spot. Easier said than done. We spent 2 afternoons perfecting the measurements this past weekend. A rectangle should not be that hard, but really it is.


Once we found the best location we put in all the braces and boards: 


Our weekend project was finally finished and we've not got a backyard ice rink just waiting for cooler weather. Once it freezes and snows we'll put our liner down and fill it up with ice! Brode can't wait!


Get out your ice skates and come on over!
