Blades of Glory!

Right before Christmas we took a trip to OKC to ice skate. They have an outdoor rink and we thought Ella would have fun trying it out. I am not the best ice skater, but luckily Tom has had lots of practice having been on the Citadel Ice Hockey team...he definitely didn't appreciate wearing figure skates either that day. He was much better teaching Ella and holding her up than I was. That was a hot...cold mess! But I haven't laughed at myself that hard in awhile. Ella was smiling the whole time, but when I took her off the rink she politely asked to skate with Daddy again. Hmmm I wonder why? She really had a great time and it was fun to watch her try something new.

We spent a lot of time along the rails.

Or this happened.

And this.

We eventually hung on long enough for a few photos.

My cold little doll face.

Night time along the canal in Bricktown. It was really beautiful!
