Ice Skating

I am trying to find ways to enjoy our long Minnesota winters and one of the activities I enjoyed as a little girl was ice skating. Today we took Katie and Allie to the Eagan Civic Arena for some ice-skating fun.  Last year we tried skating and it was not as enjoyable as I envisioned it to be.  Today  my expectations were low.  I thought if I could get them to skate for 30 minutes it would be a success.  Well, the good news is they both had a blast!  After renting our skates and getting geared up, we cautiously approached the ice.  Todd decided to rent a couple of walkers which really helped them begin to skate independently.  Before long, they were both skating on their own, pushing the walker.  A few minutes later Katie was running behind the walker.  Then to my surprise Katie decided to skate on her own and Allie soon followed suit. I hope skating will be as much fun for my girls as it was for me!
