Luckily, the local university sets up a really cool event for the whole family to do alot of that; and this year I took all of the kids to try ice skating and (faux) ice sledding.

Hosted by Cecily and Lolli
It was rainy and chilly that day, but it didn't stop Ethan and Joseph from wearing shorts.... ;-)
.
They were so excited to get their skates on and get on that ice.....
.
Ethan and Joseph picked it up right away....
And both got moving pretty fast....
.
But CJ and Angie were a little wobbly....
.
They had a GREAT time.... repeatedly telling me it was "the best day ever".... and that makes me feel good!!!
