Before we headed up to the Kendalls for the traditional feast, we took a family outing and went ice skating at the kids' school. Our kids have NEVER ice skated before ~ I Know! We live in Alaska, and we never go. But this year is our year! First grade and up can ice skate at recess, so I got ice skates last spring at Walmart for $8! Couldn't beat that! And Jason & I really want to get some, so that is in the works. But they loved it! I think xx-skiing last year definately helped out with their balance, cause they did great! I made them wear their helmets since I didn't know how well they would do. I know . . . paranoid . . . I'm a nerd. But lots of kids in Kali's grade were playing hockey and they were GOOD. So we might just pick up some sticks & puck and mess around. Watch out Uncle Ryan!
