Skate Party

The kids attended their first skate party at the local ice rink this afternoon.  The event seemed fitting, since the weather has returned to winter after a few days of teaser spring temperatures.

Sammy took to the ice immediately, no hand-holding required.

Robert, on the other hand, needed a little help.

We don't think he quite understood how to stand on the skate's blades. Sammy was off racing around on her own and did not seem to mind falling down.

It was an interesting experience, though I don't think we ever saw the birthday girl!

Spring Weather

We are enjoying a hint of spring weather this weekend.  Bob, Robert and Samantha loaded the bikes in the car and went to a local state park to ride the bike path.

Robert really enjoys riding the trail-a-bike. Last year, Samantha wanted to have her time on the back of dad's bike. This season, so far, she is content to do her own thing on her pink bike. Her confidence level has grown dramatically.

We hope the spring weather continues. We've had enough snow and sub 30 degree weather.
