Skating on the Frog Pond

 We wanted to go into Boston to see some Christmas lights and found out they had an ice skating pond at the Common so we decided to try it out.

 Katie was the only one who had been before so we were all learning together. Zach is a very fast learner so he took off and got the hang of it pretty easy. Katie took a little time to get back into the swing of it but she was picking it back up after a few times around.  Aaron and I were slow learners and didn't leave the wall to much but we both got the hang of it near the end.  John who is to good at everything like Zach was our life line and made sure we all stayed on our feet as much as he could and took turns going around with each of the kids. 

We had a lot of fun and everyone got pretty good after a while.  We all got pretty tired so we decided to take a walk and look at the lights around the Common.

 Aaron was tired from skating so Katie was nice and carried him up the hill for a while.

 We went and saw the big tree that was across from the Capital so pretty all lit up.

 We found a pizza place to fill our hungry tummy's before heading back to the car.

 I took a couple videos and though I would share this silly one.  We had a lot of fun and its so cool to say we went ice skating at the Boston Common. I think we might have just started a new family Tradition.
