Free Fun!!!
What do you do when you still feel broke from you adventure vacation, but have cabin fever? Get off your can and go find free fun!
We happend to be walking the dog through the neigborhood trail that we've been down hundreds of times before. Twards the end by the train tracks, there's a pond that we pass.
This pond isn't new to use, but usually don't go down by it this time of year. I usually get code before the dog does, so a quick walk down to the park and back usually does the trick.
For whatever reason we decided to make it a long one and venture down the path. While down there, i got a wild hair to take the dog out on the frozen pond. The neigborhood kids trampled a nice path through the weeds that stand between the path and the pond.
Standing out on the pond, while riley looked at me with new fun delight on the ice, i couldnt help but notice the Grayslake Park District put up the green flag, symboling Safe For Skating!!
Karen and i looked at eachother with sheer excitment and both said, "LETS GET OUR SKATES!!" Without delay, we high tailed it home, loaded up the car with the Dog and skates in tote.
I wasted no time getting my boots off and throwing on my gently used hockey skates from previous seasons. There was only one problem...They've resided in the cold garage only to take the shape of tightly laced dormate skates. This proved a little challenging to get my feet in.
Just like any other mans thought process....just force it in there!
Like a school kid all over again, i headed out. I think the video takes care of the rest of the story....
