There is not much that is more "Canadian" then spending the morning ice skating on a frozen lake. Grandpa worked tirelessly to clear a gorgeous skating rink for the boys. Today, it was finally sunny enough to brave the frigid temperatures in order to try it out. While Ian and I shovelled last night's dusting of snow off the ice, Grandpa and the boys laced up their skates and they were off!
It was Seamus' first skate!
Liam's skating lessons are paying off.
Grandpa and Liam are on a break away!
As with most activities, Liam and Seamus' attention span lasted about 5 minutes.
Evidence that my toddlers are still a bit too young to appreciate how lucky they are to have a beautiful outdoor skating rink in the great white North.
How to keep a two year old interested in skating - add a dump truck!
In addition to ice skating, we have been busy filling our holidays with many other outdoor adventures.
Mountain climbing.
Ice fishing.
Shovel rides.
Wild life surveillance (aka feeding the deer).
The best thing about spending our mornings outside (aside from the fresh air, exercise, and family bonding) is that the boys have wonderfully long afternoon naps. Ahhh....peace and quiet at last.
