After School Skating on a School Night

Our normal nightly routine does not include skating during the week as everything seems so busy by the time we get the kids from school, get home to make dinner, and then we are getting them ready for bed.  However, since Madiana was at home with Papa Walker I decided that after I got Brecken  from school it would be a perfect night to do something different and put the skates on.  However, first thing was first we needed to shovel off the rink.

The crew was shoveling off the ice after school today.

Once we got the rink cleared I got skates on the kids and they were ready to go.   After our last time skating I had been wondering if Madiana’s skates were a little small for her so I grabbed a larger pair of skates this time and I think it must have made the difference…. Look at her go all by herself!

After a while Madiana got tired of skating and went inside to see April and Gretchen.  I had kind of lost track of time so I eventually got off the ice as well to figure out if I needed to do anything with dinner.  Papa Walker and Brecken continued to play until dinner was ready and it was actually starting to get pretty dark outside as well.
