ice skating

This winter we tried something new! Ice skating rinks have been popping up at the local outdoor malls and we did it twice... or Natalie did. At both places they let me go with my shoes on. Thank goodness because Natalie doesn't quite have the skill set to be a real ice skater yet! Maybe next year.

Here she is the first time checking out the strap-on skates.
And sporting the sweater that was mine when I was little!
There was one other skater on the rink who acted as both photographer and skating inspiration for Natalie.
Taking a little break. Note the stroller in the background where Jackson lies cooperatively sleeping.
Another night we headed to Pearl street to get in some more skating before the rink there closed for the season. They had real little skates in Natalie's size there!!
Jackson was awake for most of this trip.
Natalie did not want to leave but our backs were getting a bit tired after helping her around the rink that we had to call it a day after about an hour and a half!
