Ice Skating

The day after the K-State game...we went to Crowne Plaza to eat, shop, and ICE SKATE!!

It was FREEZING COLD and we debated NOT going Ice Skating.  But, we had been telling the kids about it and once you even mention a fun activity to the kids---there is no turning back.

And, we were SO GLAD we went....IT WAS A BLAST!!  And, not even that cold once you started skating!!!

All bundled up---ready for our ice skates!

The CREW!!!  What FUN!!!

Me and MY BOYS!!

Steve and his LITTLE GIRL!!

Tyler spent A LOT of time ON THE GROUND!!

He didn't seem to mind!  But, his pants were good and wet by the time we were done!!

Jaden did the best of the 3 kids!  He went right on the ice, never really needed help and just figured out skating all on his own!!  He really didn't get much help and he really didn't fall too much either---unlike his older brother!!

Paige told everyone that she did the best because she never fell....

We had to explain to Tyler that she never fell because she was always holding onto someone's hands OR...

She was holding onto the outer wall.

BUT---she was right---she never did fall!!

**Doesn't she look so little here!**

After skating for probably an hour---they had to clear the rink and "water the ice".  So, you have to wait 15 minutes.  This was everyone's clue that we should be done skating and move onto the next activity!  Well, Tyler was not done!  So, I stayed with him and then we skated another 15 minutes or so after the ice was cleaned!! 

My philosophy---we paid for it---might as well get our money's worth.  So, if he wants to skate a little bit longer---WHY NOT!!!!

We will for sure do this again when we go back to KC!

Great FUN and Great MEMORIES!!!
