Cj's On Ice

WHERE ARE WE? La Penita, Mexico

I will show you all of the pictures I took today.  Obviously only 1 and it was the inside of my pocket!!

I have been looking for an opportunity to put some pictures in of "Cj's on Ice" Christmas party.  There are not a lot.  This is our group of girls that work there with our daughter Sheri.  In this picture, they are actually "on ice"!!  Because they are young ladies, I will not publish their names.  If you know them, you will recognize them, as some of them work at Cj's Snack Shack at the lake in the summer.  We have been blessed to have a dedicated group of people work for us over the last 4 or 5 years and hope we send them out in the world with some people skills and a work ethic!!  We are pleased that we can provide them entertainment almost year round now.

They all went skating in their pj's for a while.  Normally they get to serve all the people that have been on the ice, but today Sheri arranged for them to put on the skates and have some fun.  

Then they went inside and played the saran wrap game.  Sheri spent lots of time rolling up a bunch of things in a big ball of saran wrap.  The game is played by one player putting on oven mitts and trying to unroll the ball of saran wrap, while the next person rolls two dice quickly.  When they roll a double, they quickly grab the ball and the mitts from the first person and start unrolling the ball.  The next person then begins rolling the dice.  The person with the mitts gets to keep whatever goodies get unwrapped in their turn.  Its tough to grab the saran wrap with those big mitts and many times by the time you get the mitts on, the person has rolled doubles and grabs everything from you.  It creates lots of action and laughs.

Cj's on Ice has only been open for a little over a month but already it has made an impression in the rink and in the community.  I think the quality of food has been a big attraction and we are starting to see people visiting the rink just for the food.  We hope that those same people will notice the events happening on the ice and come visit for hockey games, or curling events, or just for some old fashioned public skating.  We have a great facility and it needs to be full all the time, and we hope to help draw in the crowds.   Thats all for today.  Good Nite!
