This morning we woke to the most beautiful Winter's day. The warm temperatures called us outdoors for some fresh air and sunshine. The kids dug out their skates and we walked up the street to the pond. As we were lacing up our skates the sweetest man came out of his backyard with a snowblower and cleared off the entire pond for us! The littles were all pretty excited, especially Mr. Hyrum! He loves being on his skates and has improved so much since last Winter thanks to his roller-blades. He went around that ice lickity-split at high speed. He still hasn't learned to stop, so when it came time for that he would just throw himself to the ground in a slide. He was totally in his element though and loved every second! The others enjoyed themselves for shorter stints of time, before complaining of sore feet. Fin tried his skates for a few minutes with Daddy and then begged to put his boots back on. Ollie wandered around the ice, crawled through the snow, and enjoyed exploring. He loves being outside and was pleased to have some independence! After lunch the big kids walked up to the pond and laced up their skates for a second go. This time they brought their sticks and passed the puck around. I walked over after the little one's woke from their nap and hardly recognized them as they sped around the ice and gave smooth crisp passes. We are looking forward to warmer weather and more skating this week!!
