Even though the weather has been spectacular -- we had yet another 60 degree day today --the outdoor ice rink opened this weekend. Elise and I headed over to meet friends and try it out. This was Elise's first time on skates and her Midwest genes took over. She strapped on those skates, walked right over to the rink, and got on the ice! I could barely keep up with her. She used the little bar thingy and after a few minutes asked me to not touch her. Soon, she was zipping all over the rink, cutting people off, bumping into her friends, asking me to spin her. And when she fell down, she didn't fuss too much, licked the ice off her gloves, and got back up. She said it was one of the best days -- friends, hot chocolate, ice skating. Do we live in Minnesota?
Hopefully our little New Mexico desert kids will be able to hang with the cool Midwest hockey players and figure skaters when they come for a winter visit.
