Once it began to warm up a bit after Christmas, we were all eager to get outside. On our last full day up north, Daniel got to spend the morning working with his Grandpa. They took the grater out plowing snow and had all sorts of adventures.
We returned home to mild temperatures on New Year's Eve, and decided that New Year's Day would be as good a day as any for Daniel to try out his new skates. He was very excited to get all geared up with knee and elbow pads, and try skating for the first time on a nearby pond. Sophie was also keen to be outside & went for someone else's hockey stick while I as trying to take pictures of the boys.
Daniel is going to have one happy uncle, and two unhappy ones about the jersey in these pictures.
First steps onto the ice:
I started to take a video of Daniel's first skate, but Sophie was headed full speed for the ice herself, so I thought perhaps I should remove her from the vicinity.
A much better place for her for now:
Our view from the swings:
A grand time was had by all. It was wonderful to be out in the sunshine and fresh air after so much time spent either inside houses or the van. Daniel enjoyed his first skate and is looking forward to the next time.
