Winter Fun

The boys have been ice skating a few times now at an outdoor rink. Austin and his dad took them the first time and Austin took them himself afterward. We are hoping to take them as much as possible while its still cold enough outside to keep the rink frozen, but one parent has to stay home with the younger two (which will probably always be me). Austin's parents bought the boys their skates and helmets when they visited in the hopes that they will be great hockey players. First we have to get them skating well, then we'll think about hockey ;)
They boys really enjoyed getting to see the Zamboni smoothing the ice and also talked Austin into taking them to Tim Horton's (Canada's version on Dunkin Donuts) to get donuts afterward. 

We have gotten plenty of snow here lately, so they boys have had plenty of outside play time. If its freezing outside they don't want to be out there- unless there is snow. Then it doesn't matter how cold it is, they will stay out forever shoveling and playing. They each made their own snowmen yesterday and were so happy for me to get pictures of them.

Unfortunately, Asher's eyes are extremely sensitive to the light, and this is the best picture I could get.
