As I mentioned before, we went ice skating for family home evening on Monday night on Potter Marsh. This is a beautiful wetlands area right by the ocean. And you can only ice skate there if it freezes up before it snows. The marsh freezes up before the lakes since it's only a few feet deep, and the rinks the city maintains on the lakes aren't ready until after Thanksgiving. But it's quite the experience and I'm glad we went when we did because Monday night we got a few inches of snow.
Sabrina had a great time running around on her boots. She kept saying: "Where's MY skates?" We love this picture because it looks like she's levitating. The ice was awesome. You could see several layers of frozen ice under us with frozen bubbles. And Tom even saw a fish swim by underneath.
We bought Celia some ice skates last year but we only got out once last winter for her to try. While she had fun last year until she fell down, she did fabulous this time. She really tried.
Sabrina even practiced ice skating in her boots.
By the end of the evening, we just had to hold one of Celia's hands and she could skate along beside us. She even got to the point where she could stand up on the skates all by herself.
Then Tom took the girls for a wild ride on the sled.
The girls are at such a great age. They both just played and played and had so much fun. We plan to skate lots more this winter at all the lakes around town.
