So, Dh is off work this week. He's taking a "stay-cation". You know, where you stay at home instead of spending an arm and a leg going someplace tropical?

In order to make his vacation feel a little bit more vacation-y, I suggested we go ice skating. He was born in the Deep South, so he had never put on a pair of skates before in his life. Plus, Piper still loves to watch her favorite ice skaters on youtube and then do pretend routines around the livingroom. I figured it would be perfect.

Well. I'm sorry to report that he still hasn't put on skates. He claims that he had a great time just watching Piper and playing the photographer. He was afraid to break his ankle and mess with his swimming schedule.

Luckily, I had recruited my sister, Heather, who is much more steady on her feet. Piper was really wobbly at first so Heather and I practically had to hold her up. She slowly learned to take little steps and she started carrying her own weight.
