Ice skating

Can I just tell you that we have the best mortgage company in the world. They (Rocky Mountain Mortgage) have several activities throughout the year that they invite all past clients to. Ever since we bought our house 7 years ago we have been invited to their annual summer picnic and swim at Scera pool, Halloween parties, Easter egg hunts and Christmas parties. This year for the first time their Christmas party was ice skating at The Peaks Arena. It was so much fun!! After we left Santa and the train we headed straight to The peaks for 2 hours of a great funfilled time. I was amazed that they even had skates for little L. who is not even two yet. She did pretty good walking in them on the carpeted floor holding someones hand, but being on the ice was not to her liking. She was not in the best of moods yesterday and cried through half of the ice skating as she did through the Santa/train activity. We took turns holding Baby R. and little L. so everyone had a chance to ice skate. It has been years since most of the adults had been on ice skates. In my case it has been over 30 years. The last time I went was at the Provo Boat Harbor (do you old timers remember that?) when Dennis & I were either dating or newly married. Dennis has always been a stuntman on Roller skates, so he took to the ice pretty quickly. At one point we could not find Porter and looked all around. We found him out on the rink holding on to the wall all by himself. He was having such a good time until all the adults started making a fuss about how big he was. Then he got scared and would only go if someone was holding his hand. C & T saw their cousin there and that was cool for them, only the cousin was ready to leave, not so cool. We are all ready and eager to go again. Thanks Rocky Mountain Mortgage for such a delightfully fun afternoon. It was a BLAST!!!

Silly Grandpa, I can't believe he took baby R out on the ice like that. I'm glad he didn't fall with her!!! :)
