20 Marble Skating Treat

 Our winter weather has been so warm this year, we had to head to the ice rink to wear our scarves and gloves.

Cora has been asking about going back to the Ice Station, and this week she and Violet both had earned 20 marbles.
Fortuitously, our church hosted a family fun night Friday, where $5 per person covered our admission and skate rental. Nice timing for us!

Cora was so excited about getting back on the ice.

 This time, Violet also laced up some skates, for the first time.



















Because there were so many children, it took a bit of time before we were able to get a bar for Violet. But we had fun once we got one.

 I love these moments as a mother.

 Stace stayed on the side of the rink with the snow, mini saucers, where people had to wear shoes and not skates.
After Violet went around the rink a few times, she rejoined Stace for some snowball fighting. A good time was had by all.
