Last year, when Mom and Dad visited us for Christmas, we stumbled on a downtown ice skating rink. That evening we took the boys skating for the first time. We really enjoyed this outing in the city and decided to try in again this year with Steve, Kim, and their girls. Caleb and Dallin remember it well and were able to get around pretty well on the ice. The little guys were not as sure on their feet. Mike and I took turns pushing them around the ice.
As I was skating around the rink with the little guys, Caleb asked me if I would like to dance with him in the center of the rink. The music was playing, there were other (much more skilled) skaters already dancing, and I knew if I tried I'd end up on my butt. However, I just couldn't resist Caleb's sweet request. We danced, very poorly, and I did end up on my butt. It was incredibly fun and very memorable. I love that boy.
While we all had fun, Ty spent the afternoon frustrated. He wanted to ice skate, but there weren't any his size. He wasn't allowed to run around the rink in his shoes or be carried by an adult skater so he was forced to sit back and watch the fun. As the youngest of four boys, this has become his challenge. He thinks he can keep up with the big bro's, but is often held back by his age/size. Kim snapped this photo at the end and although I shouldn't love it...I do.
