A Romantic Skate on Christmas Day
Tuesday, December 25th, 2007In the late afternoon today, we set out to find a body of water to skate on. My dad bought all of us (except Phoebe) skates for Christmas. The snow was falling perfectly like a snow globe so we headed out. A parking lot pretty close to our house that was flooded served as the pond. A shovel, which some nice people let us use to clear the snow off the thin sheet of ice, was our Zamboni. And Katherine served as babysitter of the baby girl. It was a so fun as we skated! Some of us were much better than others (I only lasted 10 minutes), but this will be an afternoon that will last in our Christmas memories. This video is a snapshot of the afternoon. I love that my kids are honest, but how do you teach them to be tactful?
