Beating The Heat

One way to beat the heat in the Arizona Desert?  Ice Skating.  It was a welcome relief from the suffocating heat outside.  We had never taken the kids skating before, but it was something we wanted to do, and Emma really wanted to do.  So we did. Ohmygosh did we have fun!  Okay, I was sore and Brett was sore.  Our feet killed us (those skates suck. sorry) and our backs were hurting but it was sooo worth it!  The kids had a blast!  Grandma and Grandpa came along to witness the adventure, and cousins Cheryl and Patrick helped us out on the ice.  Okay, Cheryl was just trying to keep upright herself, but Patrick-who is an amazing ice hockey goalie- helped out the littler ones. <thank you!>  Enjoy these pictures!

These girls were READY!

Not as sure as his big sis

Tips from Cousin Patrick

Getting help from Daddy!

And he's off!

  1. Fun! I need to take my fellows ice skating! My luck, I’ll break a hip! lol Great pictures!

  2. Hi Jessica – your blog is great, and I’m so glad I now know it exists! I will be an avid reader! Keith and Isabella have been skating a few times in the past few weeks, too bad they missed you guys! I don’t even attempt, since my hip as well as my head and Gabby’s would probably be broken. I need family skate lessons! I’m looking forward to reading more of your posts. Thanks for all the comments! Melissa
