Ice Skating

I've been wanting to take the kids ice skating all winter.  Things just haven't worked out, but I finally convinced Derek to go this weekend.  It was pretty cold, but I figured the kids would only last 10 minutes anyway, so who cares.  We drove to an outdoor rink at a park nearby and the parking lot hadn't even been plowed.  Not a good sign.  The rink was covered with snow that had just fallen a few days before.  School had been canceled the day before and the roads were dangerous and ice packed.  When we got home, I let Punky put her skates on and try ice skating in the road.  She had a ton of fun!  And like I predicted, she wanted to go in after 10 minutes.
