Today we took the boys to the ODR (outdoor rink). I was a little nervous, I thought that strapping on the blades and putting the boys on the ice could end in tears...and it did...but only when we made them go home. They LOVED it! Once again I had a TON of pictures...I cut it down some, but then decided to take Ami's advice and just post them all! So here they are...
Me and Matty....I made John take a picture with me in it to prove that I was there!
Daddy and Matty out on the ice
I heart this picture!
Grandpa, Luc and Nate watching daddy and Matty
G-pa and Nate testing out the new blades
Luc and Dad...look at him go!
Skating babies everywhere!
Look no hands!
Our little #89!
Daddy LOVING being out on the ice with his boys!
Nate also loving it!
Matty after a spill
Up and ready to get back at it
Checking out his new skates
The only picture that I got of the three boys together!
bending down to play with some snow!
How cute are these helmets!
Lukey Cat...he spent a little more time being held than the other two...I would NEVER had guessed him to be a bit nervous...he climbs and jumps on and off of EVERYTHING in our house...but it took him a little longer to get used to his skates!
more playing in the snow
Curious little fella!
mmmm...snow
Matthew venturing out on his own
One stride at a time!
Luc getting a little help from G-pa
Nate heading in the other direction!

I totally love this picture...not too impressed that he fell
but he popped
right back
UP!!!
A little break for two of my guys!
Nate and his shadow
Matty bear
Like I said, love these helmets!
I also love their rosy little cheeks!
On the go again!
Lucas out on his own
Still a little unsure about the ice
Starting to warm up to it
Okay now he loves it!!!
hahaha
Matthew waiting for dad
Gotcha!
By the end the boys were all over the ice
even Luc!
John was beyond proud of the boys today. Everytime they fell they would just pop right back up on their own. They loved being out there today. I am sure that in the coming years we will spend A LOT of time on the ODR!
