Ice Skating w/ the Colemans

Over Christmas break we got the opportunity to go ice skating with the Colemans - they had four 2-for-1 passes and with six people in their family, they offered the extra two to us. Sweet! We only had to pay for Ethan. Sean and I hadn't been ice skating in years. And, well, Ethan had never been. We were all excited until we got to the rink - then Ethan wanted nothing to do with it! So Sean and I got our skates and laced up and so did all the Coleman kiddos and suddenly Ethan was singing a different tune!


Our first shaky lap was very slow-going, but we did it!
And we got progressively better and faster as the evening wore on. Ethan was even wanting to take a lap by himself - we let him... while we followed at a safe distant behind him!


Brian (the dad) is pretty good, Hannah and Brandon were naturals, Maddy and Ethan were pretty evenly matched and Michael and I bonded over our lack of ice-skating talent!!


We had a great time trying to keep our balance and not fall flat on our bums! Afterward we were thoroughly exhausted and rewarded all of our hard work with dollar sundaes and drinks from Micky D's!
