Ice Kate

As promised, we went ice skating this weekend. It was two zillion degrees below zero ... but Nick said that was perfect ice skating weather. We all got bundled up and headed down to the park. I asked Maddie if I could take her picture and she said "yeah!" and ran over to pose with her father. Very funny ...
(you should hear "Eye of the Tiger" in the background of this)
Maddie was ready to go ...


She put on her glasses and stepped onto the ice ...
We did only a handful of laps because ... well ... our backs are getting old.

It wouldn't be ice skating without a fall. Luckily, she is small, so she is closer to the ground. She took it like a champ and kept telling us she wanted to do it on her own.







At the end of the day, she helped me take off my skates ...


Then she saw the games!


We headed home after a fun time enjoying the perks of living in a cold place ... outdoor ice skating!
