Sparkles

Today was the first day of Christmas vacation! It felt good to sleep in a little and not have to get Rachel up to the bus stop before the sun comes up.   We decided to go with some friends to Sparkles Skating Rink and go skating. 

                                                                 Rachel and Cameron

Rachel has tried skating in our driveway a few times and it didn't go too well.   Today was a little rough and Rachel got discouraged at the start.

I got her a skate trainer to try out and see if it would help her, but she didn't like too much.

Cutie pie --Ronnie. She did soooo good skating and is the sweetest thing ever.

We skated for about an hour. A couple of daycares showed up with lots of kids and Rachel was tired, so we left and went for lunch. Then we went to the mall and saw the new Alvin and the Chipmunks movie. It was cute and Rachel really enjoyed it. Then home and back out the door for basketball practice.  It was a busy day and I told Rachel we are staying home tomorrow!
