Ice Skating AND Sledding

Talk about an ambitious day.   

Jeff really wanted to go sledding today.  He was outvoted by Dyleva and myself.  We wanted to go ice skating. 

The ninos had fun....eventually....but it wasn't the lighthearted experience it was the first time they had gone.

Eva immediately whining that her skates are too tight. (They are not easy for anyone to get on in my opinion). 

And where Dylan was cracking up last time, each time he fell to the ice, this time he started moaning and complaining, "I can't DO IT!" and getting super frustrated. 

By the end, they were zooming (kind of..) all over the ice.

And then, this crazy family went sledding in the afternoon just before sunset.  Dyleva got a new sled for Christmas from Santa and needed to try it out.  It was a double, so the ninos got to go down together. 

And Daddy got to go sledding.
