We haven't had an ice rink in St. George ever, until this year. A temporary rink was put up to see if it would be successful. It was and we can't wait till next year. Darrin was on the board of a group called "Kids on Ice". It helps get equipment for kids so they can play hockey. In Feb. they had a fundraiser at the ice rink. It was a raffle and skating from 9pm till 12am. My boys were so excited to go. They had never been ice skating and they got to stay up WAY late.(My boys are in bed at 7pm) We were a little worried because they haven't done this before, but we knew they would be OK since they both roller blade. We had no idea how fast they would pick it up. As soon as they hit the ice it look like they had been skating for years.
Drew in my old Hockey jersey. They skated non stop until 12:30 am. They loved it because everyone had to leave at midnight, so they got the rink to themselves while we cleaned up.
My cute Jared.

The boys standing by our sign. We were one of the sponsors of the rink so this was up all season. We can't wait for next season. They boys want to play hockey.
We had Grandma Rachel come down and spend two weeks with. Caleb LOVED it. They had picnics all the time and he followed her everywhere.

Glad they can do it while they're young. I've had so many bad experiences on the ice, I'll stand on the side and watch!
