Ice skating

We decided to try something different and put the kids in ice skating lessons. They had never been before so we were a little nervous to see how they would do. They loved it! Jones was able to do it all by himself and Jaimin had someone help him most of the time but still did pretty good. I guess Jones fell pretty hard once and hurt his bummy a little. It was kind of funny, as soon as we got home he asked if he could get in the bath to make it feel better. Every time he runs he holds it and says it hurts I can't help but laugh at him. Here is Lydia she wasn't as fond of it as the boys were. The lessons last for 6 weeks so she has plenty of time to get the hang of it.

The boys couldn't stop talking about it and every time we drive by the rink they ask over and over to go again. I am glad they enjoyed it so much. I guess we will have to take them during the open skate time so they get more practice.

Winterfest 2010

This year Ogden had a Winterfest. They had all sorts of activities you could do so we decided to head down and check it out. Unfortunately it was raining so things got a bit muddy and cold (especially since I didn't have a coat to fit over my cast). At least it didn't stop the boys from having fun. We watched human dog sled racing, skijorning (skiers and snowboarders pulled by horses through a course), snowmobile drag racing, and skiers and snowboarders free riding down a snow covered street. The city spent a few days bringing snow from around Ogden and covered the streets Here we are trying to get warm inside the hotel where registration was. We could sit and watch people sled, ski, and snowboard on all the snow hills.

Here are the boys getting ready for the only even we actually signed up for, Human Bowling. The kids couldn't wait!

As you can see from the video it wasn't all that great, I guess the rain ruined the original track so they just quickly made this one. Oh well the boys still liked it.
