ice skating again!

The kids had an opportunity to go ice skating today with the Cub Scouts.  The weather has been really warm and with temps around 80*, it was strange to put on warmer clothes and go ice skating.  However, it was an activity we had talked about for months and they were both looking forward to going.  It was a much different experience than the one we all really enjoyed over the holidays back in Portland.  Today this rink was really busy, it was difficult to find familiar faces, the skates were old, and the ice was really choppy.  Once the zamboni worked its magic, conditions improved but it still wasn't great ice.  Neither kid was having a great time until they scored these E-Z Skaters.  I'd prefer they learn without a crutch, but with lots of others kids using them they were very appealing to our kids, too.  Thomas and Meredith had a great time zooming around the ice with these!
