Our church had a family skate night at the downtown ice skating rink. Dad bravely took Sam on the ice. Sam said he had fun and didn't want to take his skates off or give them back. I'm not sure he understood how much effort it took Doug to hold him up and go around the rink for 30 minutes. They were supposed to have double bladed ice skates which might have made it easier for Sam to support his own weight, so if we go back, we'll try to get some of those skates. Ben enjoyed the evening snuggled in his warm car seat. Mom stayed safe on the sidelines and took pictures. The last time she ice skated was in 7th grade, and I wasn't very successful then. Someone had to watch Ben!
