taking to the ice

the girls tried ice skating for the first time today.  they were all smiles, at the beginning...

but big sister hated it.  she reluctantly made one lap around the rink, clinging to the wall the entire way.  then she got off the ice and was done.  she spent the rest of the time upstairs in the warm viewing area, snacking on cheetos from the vending machine. 

little sister had a better time, and she skated for about 30 minutes or so before getting a blister and tiring out.  she did a great job and only fell a few times that i saw.  i think it will be a while before we try this activity again, but at least they tried it.
