Ice Skating

The weather has been so cold and winter like that Daddy decided we should go ice skating. On Saturday we headed to the Memorial City Mall where they have an ice skating rink . Bad news...... a hockey game was going on. OH NO! Luckily they had a train ride set up to cruise around the mall. YAY!! The day had been saved. All the boys hoped on and went for a ride. Nolan got so excited to ride along with the guys. Kyle said he waved to everyone they passed.
Sunday we got up and made our second and successful attempt at ice skating! WE headed to Discovery Green downtown. They have a really cool rink set up outdoors. Nathan and Daddy headed to get their skates while Nolan and I settled in to take some pictures. I was so excited for Nathan.He has done a lot to prepare for this. We have been watching videos online for some skating tutorials! He would even practice on the carpet pretending he was pushing with his feet( a move he learned from the video " Ice Skating Basics").
Finally we saw them skating! He was coming our way!!!! He was doing a great job . I couldn't imagine he would do so well. They made it out to the middle where there was no traffic. Then Nathan decided he was done. ha ha aha ha. In the middle of all of these people skating in a circle he decided he was DONE. Kyle picked him up and made his way back through the crowd. Nothing we said could get him back out there. I even tried ICE CREAM, his answer was still no.
We took off our skates and headed to the playground. It turned out to be such a beautiful day. We set up some blankets and snacks and let the boys play and play.
When it was time to load up we headed back through the little farmers market they had set up . The last stand was selling fresh homemade doughnuts! YEs. What a perfect ending to a perfect day! :)
