Today we went ice-skating!
We all started off hugging the wall:
Dad was struggling to stay upright:
Rachel was doing well pretty quickly:
Lizzy and Dad were still holding on!
After several falls, and landing on a random guy, Dad was happy to get out of the rink!
Rachel was getting better by the minute:
Lizzy was on her way as well:
Although there were no pictures of Mom skating she hugged the wall at first and then was able to go around without holding on but close to the wall. We had a great time (well, perhaps not so much for Dad).
Next we drove to Stanley NY to visit Aunt Alice and Uncle Ted (Trapper). Uncle Ted was Mom’s mother’s brother.
We shared a small gift with them and they shared some yummy cookies with us:
Mom shared some of her Italian Pizzelle cookies with them too:
We had a nice visit there and then we went to Canandaigua, NY to visit our cousins (Mom’s side of the family):
We brought a present for Gabe (Eric’s son and Aunt Gail and Uncle Chuck’s grandson):
It was a space puzzle:
We brought gifts for the new little ones in the family:
He loved his little push duck:
The littlest baby too:
We had a very nice day visiting family today!
