Ice Capades
Sunday, after preparing Super-bowl snacks containing way too much Velveeta, cream cheese and mayo, while the littlest was sleeping and before we headed over to Grandma's to watch the game, I took the Bigs on a new adventure- ice skating! There are several rinks in our town that rent skates for super cheap. It has been on my "must do" list this winter. When I walked out the door, keys in hand, ready to drive the 8 blocks to the rink, the kids said "NO! We want to walk!" "It's too far," I said. You'll decide you don't want to walk home." "NOOOO! We want to walk!" said the Bigs. Then I thought to myself: " What's the MATTER with you? Isn't this EXACTLY the kind of afternoon you were hoping for?? A winter's walk in the sunshine followed by bonding on the ice??" "Ok!" I said. "Let's go! What a good idea!" And we were off. The walk went great. No complaints, but
What a great moment! Looks like a wonderful trip. Talk to you soon.
