What a fun time we had!!
Leah decided she wanted to go ice skating for her birthday. She tried it out in Texas when we visited Grandma and just loved it. In her own way, she figured out how we could go ice skating in Florida. I tell you she is a natural leader.
She invited a few friends and we drove the over 50 miles to the ice skating rink. Leah and all of her friends are in Caroliers (the choir for HSCA elementry). So we had a wonderful time singing all the way to Lake Worth from Hobe Sound. Fortunately for us, all of them are the STRONG singers in the choir. By the time we arrived at the rink my ears were ringing. 
None of the girls had ever been ice skating before so it was a blast watching them glide around on their back-sides. The rink was only open to the public for about 1 1/2 hours, which was the perfect amount of time. The girls were cold, wet and giggled out by the time we headed back home.
We seemed to have picked the perfect day for an outing with 6 ten year-olds. The rink was empty and then the Burger King we stopped at was empty too. That meant we could gave fun and not disturb any one. Boy did we have fun!
Finally back home and waiting to drop everyone off at home. These special little ladies were such a joy to watch and listen to for a few hours. Leah's birthday was a great success and loads of fun too besides especially since our program coordinator was big sister. Rachel is amazing on long rides and just getting everyone taken care of. We filled all the girlies with bunches of candy and dropped them off at home. I haven't heard any bad reports from Mom's or Dad's so they must have all had fun.
My beautiful Rachel a little over 9 years ago. She had everything under control. :)
