last saturday, jenny and i took claire and lilly (izzy was sick) downtown to go ice skating and then see the christmas parade. the ice skating was pretty entertaining. we were expecting a more extravagant rink... it was pretty small and there were weird men standing around the sides making comments as we went by. otherwise, it was good. the girls enjoyed it. claire was a natural. lilly took a little more time to get in the hang of it, but she got it. jenny and i even gave it a try... for a little while. we didn't last very long. the idea of falling into the cold water (the rink was melting!) was enough to keep us from pushing our luck and going around the rink too many times. thankfully, we quit before we fell.
getting started, lilly wasn't too sure about ice skating...
but, she quickly got the hang of it.
they fell...
but they still had a great time!

it wasn't actually as cold as i look. it was just super windy!

jenny on ice. this was about the only time she smiled while on the rink...
claire at the parade with some horses coming down the street.
it was so windy, the pso 'louie the lightning bug' couldn't be up in the air. it took an army of volunteers to keep louie from flying away.
