I just put on the skates and glide.....


We took the kids Ice Skating this week. All bundled up in our heaviest snow gear we headed to Crown Center in Downtown KC for some Icy fun. None of the children have ever been ice skating and I'll admit it's been atleast 12 years since I even tried on a pair of skates. Needless to say my skating skills left much to be desired. We had tons of fun nonetheless, skating, gracefully gliding....gracefully slipping...gracefully falling on our behinds. :) Actually, I didn't fall once, thank you very much!! Jeremiah went around a couple times but just couldn't keep up with my skating perfection (or something like that) so I was left to push around 4 small children in wiggly skates. We had a crazy fun time and even though it was as cold as the north pole, or the south pole whichever is colder, we can't wait to go again!!!

I haven't since they outlawed strollers on the ice. Were you allowed to use a stroller? Looks like a lot of fun.

LOL Brielle...we had the stroller out on the terrace but of course not out on the ice. We took turns with the baby...actually I did most of the skating and my dear sweet husband watched the baby nearly the whole time :)

that looks like so much fun! I've been thinking about taking Teya but was wondering if it would be worth it to for a 3 year old. Looks like it was!
