Ice Skates

Since the beginning of December Andrew has been talking about going ice skating and asking if we can buy him a pair of skates. We are not sure where this came from, but he's been pretty persistent. His persistence got worse once the neighbors put a small skating rink up in their back yard, so Saturday morning Andrew & Bruce went out and bought skates. Yes, he now has skates, so of course they had to test them out. Andrew and his friend Jenna both went skating on Saturday afternoon. Here's a pic of them:

I think Andrew was frustrated because he seemed to think that he should be able to just get up on skates and be really good at it. Bruce seems to have enjoyed being up on skates again, and I think he'll be skating often. The neighbors asked if Andrew wanted to skate with them yesterday, but he turned them down. He then proceeded to sit at the table drinking his hot chocolate and saying "that sure looks like fun", so I'm pretty sure he'll be back up on skates in no time.
