Ice Skating

My friend Valery and I have talked for a few weeks about taking the boys ice skating at this outdoor ice rink in town. The weather was great today so we decided to go there this evening. Geoff is not an ice skater, he's a "wall hugger." He watched Hudson and was the photographer. After being on the ice for about 45 seconds, I began to think that 1, it might be a miracle if we made it around and 2, if we did make it around, Dawson would want to get off right away. It wasn't pretty at first but he got better.....much better! He had a lot of fun and kept wanting to go around. He never stood totally on his own, but held on to my hands and basically leaned back into me the entire time. I'm pretty sure that it was the best arm workout that I've had in a long time! After spending about 45 minutes skating, we loaded up and went to eat pizza with Charlie and his family. All of the little boys were really good and we had a great time!!
