Right about the time it started to get cold, my Mom and I needed to find a new place to walk; we are a little wimpy when it comes to being out in the elements. After considering a few options, we decided to get a family pass to the Utah Olympic Oval. It's in Kearns, relatively near where I grew up and it is an awesome facility. They have a walking track, workout equipment, the speed-skating oval, and two ice sheets for hockey and figure skating. It's a great deal but besides all that, it includes unlimited skating and rental for the year. My kids love to ice skate.... me, not so much. I have a fear of falling (based on my previous experience) and I'm too old and it hurts too bad. However, Matt is generally game for anything so we decided on a recent Saturday night to spend the evening skating.
See these kids? Aren't they cute? I love the fact that they make the little ones wear helmets,
and you can't see it very well, but off to the right is a child-sized walker that Jack could
use for balance as he skated around the rink.
He looks thrilled, doesn't he?
Not a great photo, but isn't she is a cheese?
Getting so big.
Will? He mostly just crawled around. That is, after we got in the building.
After all the planning and prep, he fell asleep in the car on the way there so we ended
up sitting in the car for the first hour of the outing.
All in all, it was a fun night. One the kids loved and therefore, a success.
