Ice Skating

Olivia has been so excited to go ice skating. Whenever we would meet Matthew in the city, we would stop at the ice skating rink across from his office and watch the ice skaters and she was always so anxious to get on the ice. We finally found a Saturday that wasn't freezing and went to the ice skating rink.
As soon we put on her skates she hopped up and started running around. Matt and I were impressed with how well she was moving around on her skates.

However, it was a different story once we got on the ice, she turned into a rag doll. We spent most of the time with each of us at her side and dragging her around the rink. I was worried that being drug around the rink probably wasn't very fun for Olivia, but I realized I was wrong when she shouted "I'm having so much fun!" She also got excited when they started playing "12 days of Christmas" over the speakers and said "Ooooo my favorite song."

She decided to ditch skating and wanted to just sit on the ice and collect little piles of ice. We decided this was not the safest place for her and decided to call it a day.

After skating we went and bought some hot apple cider. Olivia said this was her favorite part of the activity.
