Jack Frost?

It sure felt like it today when we visited the ice skating rink. It was field trip day with our home school group and boy was that fun! I can't remember the last time I was on the ice- I'm not an accomplished or experienced skater by any means, but I didn't fall. Sully skated like an old pro and found one of his teen aged friends to hang with, so Nathan and I saw him mostly while he was passing us by. He did slow down a couple of times to check on us. This was Nathan's first trip ice skating and by the end of our session he was doing quite well. We rented an ice walker/slider for him and when he first stepped on the ice he reminded me of Bambi from the Disney cartoon- legs sprawling, but before we left he'd place himself between the wall and the walker, which I was holding, and skate without holding on to anything.
And wouldn't you know I left my camera at home??!!?? I suppose we'll just have to go back!

Interesting Choice of Words

Sully was dancing in the kitchen today with a dish towel... just being silly. Nathan was egging him on by telling him he was a dancer, a good dancer... an exotic dancer. And no, he didn't know what it meant, Lord only knows where he's heard that one before! But, I don't think he'll be using that description again any time soon.
