Newfound favorites

In my book, it never hurts to try new things. After all, who would have ever thought I would turn into an avid runner?! 

Last winter we took the girls ice skating. It was a little bit of a flop for Sidney; and while Regan seemed to enjoy herself, she never really had the balance to do it on her own. 

Fast forward one year. The girls have been talking about going skating for a long time; seeing the kids across the street at the man made rink fueled their pleas. 

Yesterday Grandma Sheri took them across the street....let's just say they're hooked!
Today I brought them back again. 

I wouldn't say that either of them are graceful, and they both still spend a fair amount of time on their bums, but man alive they love it! Sidney is still "walking" most of the time, but Regan figured out the "walk walk glide" combination of skating. 

And when it comes to something active-outdoors and enjoyable in a Minnesota winter, this is a newfound favorite we'll be happy to appreciate!
