Ice Skating

There is a pond in Museumplein that freezes over and they turn it into an outdoor ice skating rank during the winter. This is only a 5 minute walk from our house and one Sunday morning we decided to take the kids there. It was their first ice skating experience (and who knows how long it's been for me, YEARS!). Ice skating is not the easiest thing, I even felt awkward out there on the ice. But the kids loved it and really enjoyed themselves. At first we didn't let Maddie do it, but of course after seeing her brother do it she had to give it a try. It was a beautiful day and a great memory; ice skating in front of the "I Amsterdam" sign that stands tall right behind the pond.
