More Snow

It was one of those snow storms where it started in the morning and just never stopped. Not sure what the offial measurement was, but Chris measured 13+ inches (and 4 trips out to shovel). We decided to hit the road Sunday for some free ice skating at Millenium Park downtown. Run by the park district, you show up and skate on a fairly nice rink outside. Except Nick outgrew his skates from last year, so we had to stand in line to rent his. But when the lady saw what size we were getting, she waved us away saying "He won't last long. I can't charge you." Little did she know that Nick turned into a skating machine today! Super wobbly, bambie legs for most of the afternoon. His little legs went every which way. But I have to say they seemed to have a bit more control to them than last year. Then we'd hop off the ice for a bit. Then he'd ask to go back on. Then off. Then on. By the last time (after a soft pretzel and view of the zamboni) he was doing really well. Still needing assistance from us, but the feet were moving in the right direction. And he learned to walk in his ice skates. Nice!
