Playing on the Pond


 My brother is visiting for a few days and we all went on a walk through the property and excitedly found that the ponds are frozen!

 
 
Above: this is where Owen cracked the ice and decided to spread out his weight to make it back to deeper ice.  
 
 made it!!
 
 I found this bug fozen in the ice it was about 2 1/2 inches long!
 
Fish are swimming around under the ice.  We saw about 6 big ones.

 
 Ponies!
 
 
 Even the dogs had fun running on the ice
 
 Stella and I make funny faces for the camera
 
 light dusting of snow still on the ground from last weekend.

Frozen ponds don't occur often on Whidbey!

Yes. Frozen ponds on Whidbey are rare indeed. Saw a group of teens playing ice hockey on a pond in West Mount Vernon today!
Nice pictures.. love the one of the bug and the fish.
