How it started.
How it ended. Our day at the rink with the Grands was supposed to be a picnic and a walk on the trails around the rink but the weather didn't cooperate. It poured and then snowed all day.
It might have ruined our plans but it was awfully pretty and it kept the kids entertained. There was a lot of snowball making. I'm so glad I hadn't packed away my Lopi mittens. They were still in the car. If you need to clean snow off a car in a hurry, you can't beat them. Your hands stay warm and dry no matter what kind of snow you're dealing with. There's magic in that wool.
We did a 11:30 to 3:30 sitting gig while Daughter met with some special students who travel here to work with her. The big Grand had an hour lesson with his own coach so between the skating and the snow we had plenty to keep us busy.
Baby Grand had no problem spending most of his day in the stroller but I let him roam while his brother was getting his lesson. This guy loves the ice. He would run right out there if I had let him. He was practicing jumping in the lobby after watching some skaters go through their off ice exercises.
We were about an hour north so I wondered if we had gotten any snow down where we live. We did. It's back to a winter wonderland outside. It won't last but it sure is pretty.

It is really pretty but I'm glad it's there and not here. I smiled at your Baby Grand jumping after watching the skaters. How fun for all of you. Do you still skate at times.

We had snow yesterday but nothing stuck; you certainly had more! You guys are a devoted skating family, and I hope Baby Grand gets to go on the ice soon!
ReplyDeleteYou just never know what kind of weather a day in March will give you!!! Glad you know how to make the most of it!
ReplyDeletefinally i had some crocuses bloom, and then we woke up to snow this morning! Winter, winter, go away!
ReplyDeleteThe Grands always entertain me; thanks for sharing all the adventures!
ReplyDeleteI only have one pair of "real wool" mittens, and couldn't agree with you more.
It looks as if you had fun. I have never knit with Lopi yarn but you may have convinced me to give it a try. Multipurpose mittens are a great idea.
