ice skating & sledding

Before christmas we went ice skating in downtown salt lake, it was so cool! There is an outdoor ice rink in the middle of tall buildings, it was like a mini central park in nyc, okay maybe not, but it was so fun!

the girlies :)

Spence had to work, so my mom was my skating buddy! Blayke stayed with grandpa and played with her cousin.

by the end, lindsay and I were pretty much professionals :)

[okay, i was holding onto the wall, hehe ;)]

We played tag while we were there, and crack the whip, haha. It was fun until I was soooo close to tagging tanner, we were both booking it, and ate it on the ice. My toepick [cutting edge anyone?] caught the ice, and i fell flat on my stomach. My right hip and left knee took the fall, and i had the wind knocked out of me. A little blood, [from my hip, it sliced open from the fall], 2 huge bruises, and a painkiller later I was up and playing dance kinect later that night. As for the ice, I was done after that, i'm not going to lie, it hurt!

i think ice skating should be a new tradition, yes??

A couple weeks ago it finally snowed on MLK day. Spence had the day off, so we went sledding at sugarhouse park. The snow, obviously wasn't that great, people had been there all day sledding so it was worn down, but still fun for us.

We finally know how to dress warm, yay us! We're pretty happy about it.

We're excited for more snow [or as Blayke would say, 'no' while pointing to her nose]

Hopefully the sled that the grandkids got for christmas holds up for us big kids ;)
