We had our first family foray into ice skating right before Christmas - it was one of what has become a very rare day this winter - 50 degree day. We spent hours (three to be exact) on the rink and had the best time. I admit I was a little nervous. I hadn't been ice skating in years, none of my three kids had ever been and yet, why not? It was hugely successful - even though the falls were numerous and the steps away from the railing few, we have been waiting, waiting, waiting to go again. So last night when the Olympic ice skating pairs competition came on Eden and Clara were so excited. Everything from the costumes, to the "tricks," to the makeup - they were in love. We stayed up way to late - will most likely suffer from that today at about 1:00 p.m. - but had a great time.
Some of our favorites:
