"ice ice baby"

It is the last day of the school holidays, sadly the boys go back to school on Wednesday.  So to make it a fun last day, Don Solo decided to take Samikin and Queethan ice skating at the Macquarie Centre.

It was a little wet and slippery and certainly cold, but the boys had lots of fun.  Donald braved the ice with both the boys even though he was a little shaky at first.  They all got the hang of it after testing out the ice on their first lap.

Sam and Ethan suprised us both by coping with the cold, wet and slippery conditions.  Sam had been ice skating once before, so knew what to expect.  He gained more and more confidence each time around and was letting go of the wall more than holding on to it.  You can see the joy in his face below.  Meanwhile Ethan would come and visit Toby and cheer him up after each lap with Donald.  Ethan really enjoyed himself too, being his first time, I was a little worried how he would go, but he just loved it!  

Toby and I sat in the bleachers while cheering on the boys.  Toby was a little cold and sad that he wasn't going out on the ice, so we put another shirt on him and wrapped him in his blankies. Every time Donald and the boys came around Toby would get very excited "they're here mummy, I see them", then the next minute he would be crying because they skated off.

I think Don Solo had the most fun of all!
