On the Ice

Winter 2015 may be the season of ice skating! Julia, Benj, and I went with friends before Christmas and while at first I was a little leery of taking them by myself we ended up having a fabulous time. I had forgotten how much I love to skate and both kids did fantastic on skates.

Julia had skated the previous year and had done pretty well but it was Benjamin's first real time on skates. It took a little figuring out for him and I, and a change from hockey skates to figure skates, but by the end of a couple of hours he was walking on the ice solo and even gliding a little bit.

of course, we had to watch the zamboni!!

We had so much fun we went back right after Christmas along with Grandpa Rick and Grandma Les and Julia skated for almost 2 hours! She was having a ball pulling everyone around the rink!
