We went to Tesco yesterday for some groceries and we found Ice Skates on clearance! Everyone knows I can't pass up a good deal - especially one that will last for several years!! The skates we found are adjustable for 3 to 4 sizes. And, Hayden's are even dual purpose - the blades can come off and be replaced by roller blades!
The rink opens at 10:00, so we got there a little early, but the ice wasn't quite ready yet. So, we went down and each got a drink at the bakery close by. Hayden chose Fanta, I got tea, and Owen got his hot chocolate with whipped cream that he missed out on from the field trip.
Hayden's friend Eidyn and his dad, Peter, met us down there too. It was chilly though - below zero C - and right on the river & cloudy, so pretty humid.
The boys got their skates on and then took off onto the ice. It is a pretty crowded event - even on a Sunday morning. It is free if you have your own skates and parking is also free, so it is worth it! By the end of our fun, Hayden could run across the whole rink out away from the sides and Owen was practicing gliding!
The sun came out just as we were leaving, so we had a nice hot lunch at home of Grilled Cheese sandwiches and soup while we sat in the sunshine.
