Ice, Ice Baby

 

It's been a long time since I've dusted off my skates.

I used to have them on several times a week doing crazy stuff like this. The last time I had them on was in 2020 but that was just for a quick spin around a little outdoor rink when Daughter and I went off to Nationals with her skating team .

Yesterday Daughter rented out the outdoor rink at Reston Town Center for an hour for Baby Grand's first birthday.

It was cold. 19 degrees with the wind chill factor but it was sunny. Once you started moving it wasn't too bad. She had plenty of hot coffee and cocoa on hand for the folks that came out to brave the cold. 

Baby Grand wasn't too sure about all that slippery white stuff at first. 

But Daughter figured out a way to make it work. 

I had a great time out on the ice with the two Big Grands who were also having a great time flying around the ice. The Mister and Pup, who didn't get the benefit of being able to keep moving to stay warm, had a chilly morning-but we all lived to tell the tale. It was quite the early morning adventure for this trio of oldies.
