Adventure on ice

Today was an adventure.  An adventure on ice.  The second time Carmen has been on ice skates and a first for Max.  Carmen is convinced she wants an ice skating birthday party so we had to try it out just to be sure.  I wouldn't call it an astounding success but it was fun.  Both kiddos had a death grip on our hands and Jimmy and I were both more than a little rusty on skates but we managed.  Max was definitely excited and kept trying to walk and run on the ice which proved a little problematic but there were no major falls.  I guess we'll have to all  improve because the ice skating party is a go.  While she only went around the rink three times during our outing, Carmen still wants an ice party.  If nothing else, she'll look cute in her skates.
