A couple weekends ago all of the cousins got together for some winter fun before the really cold temps moved in. We met at the Elementary in NR and the kids got to sled down the big hill there. Eric has taken the boys a couple times, and with Grace and Lucy, and Kelly and Eric said the hill wasn't as fast as usual. They seemed disappointed but I thought it was plenty fast, especially when Cal and I wiped out a couple times! After sledding we took the kids ice skating. Cal stayed in the van with Dan and Luca for the skating, but really wanted to get out and try it. I did let him get out and walk on it which he thought was pretty neat. Leyton did much better on the outdoor ice than on the super slippery hockey rink ice so he was pretty excited about that. Even little Ella and Maggie did a great job on their tiny figure skates! Here are some photos from our day.
Kelly getting ready to give Grace, Ella, Lauren, Lucy and Leyton a push down the hill.
Cal loved it this time around! We were shocked. The first couple times down he didn't seem to enjoy it, and said "All done". So I put him in the van with Dan and Luca and a few minutes later he said he wanted to go again. Then we couldn't get him to stop! He would go over and over again with whoever would take him, and did not want to be done.

Kelly and I trudging back up the hill with the kids. The kids do really well walking up without complaining or begging to be pulled, thankfully!
Poor Kelly lugging heavy Cal back up!
The outdoor rink in NR has bars to use, which was really helpful:
Leyton getting more comfortable on his skates and picking up speed :)
Heading over to see what the girls are doing:
