the sledding hill


sledding at ft. ben
















well, things have warmed up around here to all of 20 or 21 degrees so the kids wanted to go sledding. everybody bundled up and we headed to the sledding hill at ft. ben! it was awesome though i have to say a little scary. kids crashing into other kids. adults crashing into kids. they really go down that hill fast! at least maggie and patrick only crashed into each other!

maggie learns to ice skate!!!!
















today was the ice skating out for the Indianapolis Children's Choir. the bad news is, i got things mixed up on my calendar and i had the end time as the start time and so she missed the party. the good news is that we stuck around and got to skate quite a bit before it go too crowded. maggie hadn't ever skated before and while at first there was a lot of holding on to the wall for dear life and falling, she persevered and did a great job! she worked hard (and i'm guessing her bum will be bruised), but she had a great time and is looking forward to going again soon!
