New Years Day

The twins’ wanted to go ice skating during the break from school.  We finally got around to it on New years day.  I took the kids and they each brought a friend.   It was kind of cool for me because I used to go ice skating every weekend with friends from school when I was their age.  I realized too that I went on my own without my parents…I stayed with them and skated (because I like to skate).  But it made me realize how much more protective I am of my kids.  But that’s another post. 

Everyone had a lot of fun.  Here are a few pictures from our adventure.  Jason and his friend Tyler had fun skating, playing tag, and chase.  I’m glad Tyler could come. Em ended up with two friends…that one is an interesting story, but you can chalk it up to girly manipulation…oh how I hate that.  This is Em, Erika, and, Alyssa.  They all had fun too. Jason watching the zamboni (I love the reflection in this picture) and a picture of the zamboni.  I don’t know why it’s so fun to watch that thing, but it is.  Taking a snack break. The sad thing was that this lady fell really hard and I don’t really know the situation  or exactly what happened, but they cleared us all off the ice and called the paramedics.  I heard  her say a few things as I skated past after she had already fallen, but I just hope she’s okay.  They sent us over to a different rink to skate (there were TONS of people there).  If we go again I may even be brave and take Liam, but I don’t think he’ll like the cold.
