Keep Your Stick On The Ice

Last weekend we went up and stayed at our house in Eden. We were going to take the girls skiing on Saturday but when we got there we found out Tyler's skis weren't up there like we assumed. They were at his parents house because his brother had borrowed them and we hadn't got them back yet. So we decided to go ice skating in Huntsville instead.  Part of the city park is turned into a skating rink in the winter.

Allie, Grandma, Tyler and Emily getting out on the ice.

Allie had a blast and loved skating around with Grandma.

Emily was a champ and skated around for a bit with Grandma and Grandpa and then was soon skating around on her own.

Joshers and I getting our skate on. This was right before his nap, hence the sleepy look on his face.

After we did a few triple axles and practiced our spins we played an exciting game the boys invented and named moving wickets. You would get points for shooting the hockey puck between people’s skates and lose points for having the puck shot between your skates. It was pretty fun.

Emily and Allie wanted in on all the fun.

 We had such a fun day. The girls got to pretend they were Olympic ice skaters and we were able to enjoy the beautiful day in a wonderful little town. I wouldn't mind living there. Maybe someday!

*On a side note, Joshua has started to say Dadda. He has been saying it for a couple of days now but would never say it in the presence of Tyler. It was kinda funny. But yesterday Joshua finally said it in front of Tyler.

Josh also had his 1st tooth come in and a 2nd one will be popping through any day now.
