Skating behind the Malt Shoppe

Tanner being a cool dude in his X Games sweatshirt!
Lauren performing a balancing act! - When we were skating she told me "I have to go potty BAD!" I took her over to the edge(there are no bathrooms around), pulled down her pants and made her pee on the ice. She thought it was really cool to make yellow ice, and had to pee "really BAD" two more times while we were there!
Maddie, our future ballerina on ice!

What would winter be without a day spent on the pond - ice skating! Kristin and I took the kids to the pond behind the Malt Shoppe to go skating. Tanner spent most of his time on his knees and behind, but he did really good. He even started skating backwards. (Not bad for his second time on skates.) Maddie did awesome. She gets so frustrated with herself when she can't get it perfect. Kristin told her it is like ballet on the ice and it seemed to click with her. Lauren had double bladed skates and it really helped her. She was a little scared at first, but by the end she was doing it by herself.

After skating we went to the Malt Shoppe for a snack and, of course, ICE CREAM!
