Ice skating

Jemma out-of-the-blue one afternoon about 3 weeks ago said, "My daddy is taking me ice skating" while pretending to ice skate around the kitchen in her socked feet. I don't know if she saw a commercial on tv, or they read a book at school, or it just popped out of her vivid imigination. Jim and I agreed that we should try to take her, but the weather had not cooperated until Friday. It was a perfect day! Plus, GrandMary had just arrived on Thursday so she was able to go too! Here are some pictures from our adventure. If you live in the area, MacArthur Center on Ice is a nice little family outing. It was only $5 to skate and that included the rental skates. It is not a big rink, but it was just what our little girl needed for the experience!
