#11) Take the kids ice skating.
This happened three weeks ago now (whoops) but we went to Peaks Ice Arena to give the kids their first experience on the ice! I hadn't planned on fulfilling this particular bucket list item for another year or two (once the kids got a bit older) but...we went to watch Doug's hockey game on June 20th and Nicole had been begging to go ice skating ever since. On the last day of June, we gave it a go!
Austin wasn't big enough to fit in the smallest skates yet, so he walked around on the ice in his shoes for a bit while the rest of us skated. Nicole was very wobbly, as was expected, but once she got her hands on a walker she didn't want us to help her at all. "I can do it myself!" she proclaimed. We didn't last long, but even skating for a short time is tiring work when you're not accustomed to it! Doug could skate circles around all of us all day, haha. Oh, those hockey players.
Nicole asked to go skating again the very next day, and has asked several more times since then, so we'll definitely have to give this another whirl. Perhaps in half a year once Austin's feet are big enough for those little skates.
