Our family loves winter where we live. We have skiing, sledding, and ice skating all with in a few miles from our doorstep. While skiing tends to be on the more expensive side, sledding and ice skating are almost free.
Here we have a local pond that freezes over in the winter and for years they have rented ice skates for $1.00 and provided all the hot chocolate you can drink. While the pond is not as smooth as an indoor skating rink at the mall, the outdoor skating experience just can not be replicated indoors. Falling into snow banks instead of hanging for dear life on the rails, maybe that is just me, provides laughs for many. Nothing beats a red nose and a grin from ear to ear. We can easily spend several hours skating around the pond enjoying each others company and talking non stop all the way home.
