Ice Skating

The week after Christmas, David and I both had the entire week off of work and the kids were out of school so we tried to fill our time with random activities. We went to the movies, and sledding, and then we decided to try something new. We went Ice Skating at the Olympic Oval. I was a little nervous but it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be.

We all started out a little bit wobbly, but we got better the more we did it. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we ended up buying an annual pass. David will also use the facility for running. They have a running track that goes on the outside of the ice track.

I was surprised at how well Corbin did, especially for his first time on ice. He did better on ice skates than he does on roller skates.

I was a little scared to let Kylie out there, but then we found out that they had helmets and a support that she holds on to. She did amazing as well. Half way through skating she ditched her support and was skating on her own. She fell a few times, but I was impressed that she even tried.

I loved having all this time with my family. We had a great week. Can't wait to do it again next year.

Carson turns 13

So I now have 2 teenagers in my house. Carson celebrated his 13th birthday in December. He decided he wanted to go to this place called Jump on It. It is a place that has wall to wall trampolines. All the trampolines are attached and there are even trampolines that go up on the walls. It's a pretty fun place. He celebrated with his cousin and his friend and his brothers and sister. We then stopped to eat at In -n- Out. We had a good time.
