Fountain square has an ice rink all winter long usually very busy with skaters and the broomball league. Last Sunday afternoon we decided to join the skaters out in the cold and snow. It turned out to be as good as we had hoped.
While we were there, flurries came and went but it seemed that everyone was having blast. I skated around with Sarah while holding Finn for a while and Finn seemed to really enjoy the movement and all the other people.
After a while I decide to let him stand on my skates. He was all for it and soon lifted up one foot and was standing on the other. That freed one of my skates to push off with and we skated around the rink.
After each lap we'd stop and he's point back at the other side of the ice and want to keep skating. It takes a lot of bending, both in the knees and the back, to support him and push off and we'd have to switch legs each lap, but he loved it.
It seems that next year we'll be out there with the double runners letting him skate around behind a chair or a cone.

let's see... it must have been about 27 years ago we watched Danny Gorowski, UW forward, pick up our son under his arms and skate from one end of the ice to the other at Dane County Coluseum. We used to think that was pretty cute... but that cuteness has been surpassed by the next generation!!

Wow! You guys are amazing. That looked like so much fun and the boys are naturals! Those video clips do bring joy to my days.

Oh that video of the baby skating is the cutest video ever!!!
I used to skate till I graduated from high school, then no time and no interest. Do you think Rowan's parents can skate?
