A New Adventure


In our area, there is this strange phenomenon that I hadn't experienced before: ice rinks in people's backyards. Given the fact that we have lived in many warm weather climates before coming here, it would make sense that this would be completely new to me. Two of our immediate neighbors have their own personal ice rinks built for the winter, and our girls have been invited to skate there many times, so I thought it was time to teach them how to ice skate. So off we went to the public rink downtown and the girls had a blast.

I was so proud of them! At first, they used the walker type bars to help them skate around the edge. Then we progressed to the bars around the rink, and they were skating on their own! We met so many nice people trying to do the same thing we were and definitely plan on spending more time there learning how to skate!
