It's Like Riding a Bike (18/365)

Sunday January 22, 2012

After the fun we had yesterday, we all went to bed around 9:00.  That's early. For us.

Today we woke up, cleaned the house after all the wet boots, hats, coats and kids that were in & out all day yesterday, and prepared to watch some NFL Playoff Football.

We went to my in-law's house on a lake for dinner and football.

My in-laws had cleared a spot on the lake in front of their house for ice skating.  It was pristine. 

Complete with hockey sticks & pucks, we went outside for a little ice skating after dinner.  Little did I know, it's NOTHING like riding a bike!

It has been at least 20 years since I put on a pair of ice skates.  Apparently, it's a lot easier to learn this skill as a child, than to re-learn it as an adult.

Nonetheless, we had a blast!  Our toes froze and we went inside after dark for some hot chocolate... and football of course!

Incredibly thankful today for family, good food, outdoor air and of course, the squeels of delight from the babies!
