Ice Skating!

We 'thought' it would be a good idea to take the kids ice skating last weekend.  We had to hold Violet and Preston up almost the entire time and my back was in massive pain by the end.  The good news is I got a good workout and the kids LOVED it and are asking to go back already!
Lacing up

Smallest size of skates they had size 5 and they were a little big!

Starting out

James carrying Preston after he fell (for the 100th time!)

Someone took pity on us and gave us this little contraption and Preston TOOK OFF with it!!!

Violet and I skating around (when we stopped for the pictures she was yelling "keep going mommy!")

By the end we had a good little skater on our hands (and sore backs!)

Why is my back suddenly really sore?

Looks like you had a great time! Dorothy did very well if she was able to skate on her own!

Looks like tons of fun! I need one of those cool skate-helpers that Preston had. I'm not fabulous at ice skating-but hey, I'm from the desert.

I'm with Shonna, I need one of those skate-helpers. I guess my weak ankles are genetic. Looks like lots of family fun.

What a fun family adventure! I cannot ice skate or roller skate, so yes, I'm guessing it IS genetic...

Thank you for the book suggestions-they are now on my kindle! Skating looks like a blast- I would need one of the helpers too-what a neat contraption :)
