An Introduction to the Ice

We spent a few days this week down in Saint Louis with my parents, and it was a much needed change of scenery for all of us! One of the hilights was spending a day at the St. Louis Mills Mall. It has great outlet stores like Carters, Gymboree, Children's Place, Gap and Old Navy, a movie theater, and best of all, a skating rink. Brendon took each of the girls out for their first spin on the ice, and they both loved it. We are looking forward to coming back and trying it again when the girls aren't so tired.

Sierra posing with the smallest skates they made. We were lucky they fit. Childrens size 8.

Haddie did a great job holding her skates steady. Here dad is demonstrating the finer points. Maybe he should give me lessons, too. I stayed firmly on the ground with the camera this time.

Sierra was a little more wobbly but she still had a great time.

Smiling with daddy. You can't see it but I am taking pictures from the penalty box :) This was a practice arena for the St. Louis Blues.

And when the girls got tired, Brendon gave them each a ride around the rink. We were fortunate to have the whole place to ourselves. Thanks for a great trip, mom and dad!
