Blades of Glory


We took the girls ice skating for the first time today. We got there right when the zamboni was cleaning the ice. The ice was really slick, especially for people who don't ice skate and have kids hanging on them. Luckily we found some learner equipment. The equipment looks like senior citizen walkers, but they help the kids stand up get used to the ice. It worked out great. No major injuries. Grandpa Larry got tangled up with Alex and he kissed the ice. Fun times.
