Old Ice

That title has dual meaning. This post is a few weeks late, and the pictures are of the old ice and South Charleston Memorial Ice Arena. Here is a picture of Isaac and Lexy in the door to the ice. this was after most all of the decals, circles and lines had been pulled up. The ice is soft, too soft to even skate on.Isaac got a major hook up from Butch. He got to be the last one to skate on the old ice. As you look at that picture notice the brown spots. That is where the sand under the ice is showing through. Some of the spots are where the logos had been, others are high spots in the sand. Also notice that Isaac has on rental skates. He and I stopped by to see how the process was coming after Scouts one night. Butch told Isaac to grab a pair of rental skates and take a few laps if he wanted to. Of course he wanted to. Isaac said the ice was "sticky". That is because he is used to skating on ice that is about 15 deg and at that time it was only about 28 deg.
We don't have enough pictures of Butch on our blog. He has been such a big part of our lives over the last few years. This is a great in character picture of he and Isaac. We sure love Butch...!!!
