Mira and Amelia go ice skating!

We celebrated Chris's dad's birthday yesterday with a delicious brunch out and ice skating at The Depot downtown Minneapolis. Mira and Amelia got to try ice skating for the first time, and we were impressed with their first experience with it.

Amelia is trying hard:
Mira started getting the hang of it with the "walker":
Amelia learning just how slippery the ice is!
Mira is learning the ropes with her dad, who happens to be an excellent skater! Me? Not so much.
Mira is getting the hang of it!
This was Amelia's free ride toward the end of the day:
We'll definitely take the kids skating a couple more times in the near future. I might even try it again. Then we'll let Mira decide if she wants to take ice skating lessons. She thinks she might!
