Notice it is dark. The older 4 kids and I went to the ice rink last night after Matt got out of work. The lights were not on at the rink, maybe due to the fact that it is February vacation or to the fact that the ice is melting and only very determined children like mine skate on it? I promised the kids that they would go skating, so they did. The light of the moon and the light of nearby street lights and building lights gave us just enough light to see where we were going. Emily has improved a lot in her skating since Monday. I was impressed! Night skating is a lot colder than skating during the day. It took me forever to warm up when we got home!
We stopped at the grocery store before coming home. When we got to the checkout, we were jokingly told that we were the one millionth customers and we received 3 FREE inflatable snow tubes. Awesome! I've been thinking about how fun it would be to go sledding with the older kids on a real hill, not just in our backyard, so the tubes are perfect for what we need. Now we just need some new snow.

Personally, I wouldn't be too sad if it didn't snow again this winter. I know it will anyway of course, but I'm just not wishing for it.
I'm so glad to see Flat Stanley made it there safe and sound;)thanks for participating...i need to show lily this post so she can see the adventures going on:)
I wish there was an ice rink near us. Maybe we should move. Which rink do you guys use? Max has never had a Flat Stanley, but you reminded me that the books are fun for boys so I think I will pick some up today. You guys are so good about doing activities out of doors with your family.
