A few weeks ago we spent a fun afternoon at the little patinoire in the school yard. It was a cold day but we had an enthusiastic skater and boot slider on our hands so off we went to make the best of a frigid Montreal Saturday. Leo only skated for about 5 minutes at the end of the afternoon, he spent the rest of his time "curling" with Marc and I. Someone had the ingenious idea of filling several 4L water jugs with coloured water which of course froze solid and made excellent curling rocks! We chucked them down the ice using any technique that worked and Clara steered clear.

All we needed for an afternoon at the ice rink.

Yes, it is ccccold!

Leo's first time on skates, Marc ended up with a hurt back :(

Getting to be a pro

They stand it way better than adults do!
