Winter Skate

Our cute little town has its own ice rink in the winter. We decided to try it out. Zoey had only been once before and Max had never been, so we had a little bit of learning to do. They day was so warm and sunny, which was nice, but the ice was melting like crazy, so if you fell, you fell in to a big puddle of cold water!! We were trying to avoid that with Max, because once that happened he wouldn't want to continue... kids were crying all over the place after getting soaked!!

Anyway, both kiddos did really well and had fun...

Starting off slow... Ross had to take his shirt off, it was so warm... the kids stripped down too.







looks like some serious concentrating.


the ice actually wasn't great. it was so lumpy and wet and there were leaves, so I think we all would have done better with smoother ice.





Max has his tongue out here.



getting the hang of it!











And then Zoey and Ross went to race and Max and I went off on our own and then we fell... and my camera hit the ice and the lens got broken!


So no more pictures! Max ended up going by himself a couple times before we finished up and Zoey really got the hang of it once she had the right skates!
