after 5 long, hot soccer games in 3 days (kira's soccer tournament) we decided to celebrate with some cool outdoor ice skating. in LA? nu-uh! 🙂 we loved it! perfect timing, they had to clear the snow just as we got there!
you know you are skating in LA when you see this posted on the side of the Zamboni:
loved these of these 2:
and cam, kira and i decided to stay on the sidelines and watch. kira is usually all about ice skating but i think 5 soccer games was catching up to her. but gee, that ice gives off nice light :)
and caleb who wants to know how to skate so badly but doesn't quite have the patience for it. but had a good time anyways.
and then the tears when it's time to go.
thank goodness for the free starbucks coupons we got from ice skating, we went to 3rd street to cheer her up. 🙂

Oh, how cool is this!! I LOVE ice-skating 🙂 Think I’m gonna bring my kids to the outdoor ice today – 1st of december….. we use to do something together everyday in december – just something like skating, skiing, making some coockies, some x-mas gifts…….good way to start off the season! Thanks for reminding me of the skates. 🙂
And have a great december!

Ooooh, I was just over that way and forgot they had that every year. I’ve gotta go try it out!
Everything went live at The Grove a few days ago so I’m waiting to see when that (if ever) gets old. Right now its still magical 😉

it’s too bad we don’t live closer to each other. Mike plays hockey (both ice and roller) and he could totally teach Caleb how to skate!
happy Monday Jamie!
