Ice-Skating

A few weeks ago, the Village (where we live) provided free Ice-Skating for all it's tenants. This is one of the many perks of living here. Twice a month they provide something for the tenants to do. Our place may be old but EVERYTHING else is WONDERFUL about living here. It defiantly makes it all worth it. I know it is going to be pretty hard the day we move. Not just because of all this place has to offer but mostly because of the people and atmosphere here. ANYWAY...... here are some pictures of our skating trip.
This was Emery's second time Ice-Skating in her life. She loved it just as much this time. Tim had to hold her up the whole time but she seemed to get the concept better and was trying to do what he told her to do. She always tries really hard to get things just perfect.

This was Kaven's first trip however. I was thinking that he would not like it as much because he is a lot more cautious about things than Emery and really thinks things through. Yet, every time we take him somewhere special he REALLY lights up and soaks it all in. These types of things really mean a lot to him. Did he ever LOVE it. I did not ice-skate however because of my pregnancy condition. I have a hard enough time with my balance lately just walking let alone ice-skating. So this left Tim to take the kids around one at a time. Kaven understood this but REALLY wanted to keep skating and kept saying, "MY TURN!!" while trying to walk out onto the ice by himself.
Tim, like always, was super good with the kids. I kept asking him if he was o.k. and if his back was hurting and needed a little break. Even though it was a lot of work holding the kids up while skating for two hours, he kept on doing it and loving it the whole time. He is the greatest dad ever! He was pretty sore the next day though. :) He sure knows how to make things fun and special for the whole family.
