Ice skating is one of our winter traditions so I was SO happy when I learned that the city had found a way to stay open and make it Covid safe! It was actually even better than usual because there was a fraction of the people there usually are!
They had a limit of 37 people on the ice but I don't think we saw above 20. They had "zones" set up and you weren't supposed to have more than 5 people in a zone, but it's almost impossible to adjust your speed, and since it wasn't full it was rare that more than 5 people actually did clump together other than when the 5 of us were skating together and someone came into the zone. Haha.
We left the little two with Noni and they had a wonderful time. Age 5 is my arbitrary rule so Peaches will get to go next year. :)
Peanut did great and had much more skill than last year. It took her a few minutes, but soon she was skating on her own without holding on to anything.
Bug and Boo did great. Boo is a skilled skater and zipped around the rink with ease.
It was such a pretty night and above freezing which was really nice not to be super cold. It had rained all morning, but cleared beautifully for a crisp, festive evening.
We had a wonderful hour skating round and round. Peanut had a few spills, and Boo fell really hard onto her knee at one point, but otherwise it was a very enjoyable evening!
We turned in our skates and got a picture with Buddy the photo-bomber. :)
And then walked around the park for a bit since it was decorated so prettily!
This bridge was neat!
This was really cool...in the summer it's a splash pad, and this year they turned it into a sound activated light display!
It was sensitive enough to pick up horns honking and a train in the distance. You can see how it lights up when Peanut laughs, and Daddy did a Tigger laugh at the end. So cool!
We actually went into a store (Bath and Body Works) on our way back to the car and the girls loved being able to look around and pick a few things out. They haven't been inside a store in months.
We headed to pick up the little ones and get back home before bed. They had made cute pictures that Noni hung on the refrigerator.
Thanks for watching them so we could have a fun night Noni!!
