First-ever ice skating

In early January, we took the kids ice skating at the local rink in Silver Spring.  They had never skated before, and we haven't skated since LONG before kids, so it was a little rough (but fun).  The kids thought it was pretty fun to get real skates and to use the support penguins.

 

The kids weren't getting the hang of skating, even with the penguins, so Patti and I broke our backs leaning over and "skating" with the kids - which was basically just holding them up.

But it was a lot of fun.  The kids liked that they'd tried it, no one even fell hard on the ice, and when the Frozen music came on you'd think we were in heaven.
