I realized the other day that I've never taken Olivia ice skating. Mondays are our free day, so I figured we'd give ice skating a try.

You never know how these things will go. She'd either hate it and we'd leave after 5 minutes, or she'd love it and we'd stay the whole hour and a half. It wasn't looking good that she wanted to go home after one failed attempt to get her ice skates on.

We finally got them on and got onto the ice.
