Lake Balaton Winter 09

This winter has by far been the coldest we've experienced. For weeks we had below freezing temperatures. Last weekend we drove down to Lake Balaton to go ice skating. I guess about every eight years the lake freezes over enough so that you can go out on it.

Jared found the lazy mans way to ice skate

This is how Scarlett's face looked the entire time. If you look closely you can see tears, not because she's sad but because it's soooo cold.

Proof you can fry anything and it tastes good. These people were offering free hot wine, tea, fried apples and bread with lard.
