First Skate of the Year

Typically we'd have skated a bunch of times on neighborhood rinks and at least once or twice on our pond by now. But with the house project and the babies' unwillingness to walk on the snow we've not skated once and haven't even been in to check how the pond is doing. Until today.

Logan, Avery and Cathy were going to head off to the closest flooded parking lot (We love our fire department!) until Meryl started asking to go also. We figured she'd only last 5 or 10 minutes on the ice so they went to a neighbor's rink instead. She did great and lasted about 40 minutes.

Logan with a look of determination we don't often see outside of his ds playing.
