Ice Skating!

Last night we took the girls ice skating for the first time. Neither of the girls had ever been and Bob & I had not skated since we were young kids. We had a BLAST!

We went to a local outdoor rink. On Tuesdays you can skate for free there! They had Christmas lights all around the rink and it was a COLD December night with Christmas music playing too. I really think it was my favorite memory {so far} from this Christmas season.


The girls did FANTASTIC even though they had never been on skates before. They did a little holding of the wall and eventually got out in the middle of the rink. They only fell a couple times and had such good attitudes about trying something new.
Like I said, Bob and I have not skated since we were little kids - but we both did great too! It all comes back to you so quickly. We were flying around the rink having as much fun as the kids! I could NOT stop grinning, it was SO much fun!





What a fun night - it really put me in the Christmas spirit!


I just love that our girls are at ages where we can do so many fun things with them and really enjoy our time together. I know all too soon they will be grown up and won't want to 'hang out' with Mom and Dad. But for now they still think we're pretty cool and we're fully enjoying that fact as much as we can!
This rink is going to be open until February, so if any of my local friends want info about it, let me know. Like I said, it's FREE on Tuesdays ... I think I know what we'll be doing on Tuesdays for the next couple of months!
