Skating Fun!

Old Town Temecula set up an outdoor ice skating rink for the holidays this year. Jax was spending a few days with us, and since the kids had been so good while Joe and I decorated the house for Christmas yesterday, I decided they deserved to have a little fun today!
Zoe and Jax had both been ice skating several times before, but this was Cooper's first time on the ice. They were all excited to get their skates on and get out there...
The first few times around the rink were a bit rough for the boys. There was a lot of rail holding and a few good falls.
Zoe got out there and immediately took off. She had a big smile on her face!
She was also really good about helping her brother!

After some practice, and some skate switching, the boys got the hang of it. Jax didn't like how small the rink was, since he's used to going to the large hockey rinks, but he hung in there. Cooper was determined to learn, and wouldn't stop until he could skate on his own.

Zoe even started doing some turns on the ice...

They had a fun session of skating, and Zoe and Cooper didn't want to leave!

Even after taking a REALLY hard fall and bruising up his elbow pretty badly, this guy was all smiles!

Hopefully we can go again before the rink comes down! It was nice to feel the holiday spirit in Old Town and get to enjoy the cool weather of the season.
