We got the kids ice skates for Christmas. Greyley has been able to go a couple times with these new skates and loves it. Indigo has gone once and also loves it. I used to love ice skating~ I’ve always loved roller skating much more~ but it seems like for one reason or another, I’ve weaseled my way out of going the last few seasons.
And then our friends asked us skating and Nate brought home these…
Look at those lovely things!
My old skates HURT my feet and after I had Indigo, I wasn’t sure I could ever wear them again. These have furry insides and such pretty etchings. Even the blade is pretty! Thank you, Orville!!!
Last night we went to Centennial Lakes~ if you live in the Twin Cities and have never been, you MUST go. It’s so pretty and the rink goes on and on. You skate past lit trees and under lit bridges. We went with our friends, Jonathan and Anna, who have finally moved back to Minnesota. Welcome home!
Jonathan, Indie, Nate, Greyley, Anna
We took turns holding Indigo up on the ice. By the end of the night, he was vastly improving. He’ll be flying in no time.
Look how pretty Anna is! She’s always so pretty, but notice how even out in the COLD weather, she is still so lovely.
I wish I could be like her.
I was doing good just to be out there, y’all. I don’t know what has happened, but I just seem to not appreciate cold the way I used to. Ahem.
Let me just give you a little rundown of all the clothes I had on…
Tights, leggings, Nate’s wool socks, pants, long-sleeved shirt, wool turtleneck sweater, wool sweater jacket, coat, gloves, mittens, Eskimo covering…
It worked! I was not cold.
Hallelujah!
We had such a great time. I will do it again. I might even invest in prettier gear just to go with these pretty things…
Mmm, Nahhh…
