On Valentines' Day the boys' school had a playdate at the outdoor ice rink downtown. Theo and Beckett loved the chance to free skate after so many lessons so far this season. Beckett's M.O. is generally to skate like a bat out of hell around and around and around the rink. Theo had fun trying out the walkers on the ice. It was actually challenging to skate because it was about 50 degrees. There was standing water in several places on the ice, and cones up to warn skaters away from them. I haven't been on skates in years but I had a great time chatting with other Latin parents and watching them skate with their friends.
