Skating Downtown


We headed downtown tonight for dinner and ice skating.  Meme, Papa, Alison, and Aunt Missy all joined us as well.  We had a great dinner at Hard Rock, and then walked across the street to Campus Martius.

The smallest skates they had were a bit too large for Jake, but for his first time, it was tough to gauge if it really made a difference or not.  He had fun skating between our legs and kept urging us to go faster.  The best setup we found was Mommy supporting Jake under his arms while Daddy pushed and slowed the two of them.  It was the best method for Daddy's back at least.

When our backs couldn't take any more, we let Jake know that we were tired, and he replied, "But I'm not tired at all!"

Alison started off about as shaky as last year during the Motown Winter Blast, but by the end she was able to go around the rink several times by herself without holding onto the wall.

Here are a few of the photos we took tonight.
