Dreams of figure eights

We hit the train and headed downtown. Next stop: Millennium Park ice rink (a heck alot cheaper than the new Wrigley version with admission + skate rental fees!) Caitlin, Jessica, Justin, and Allison joined Chato, the kids and I for the trip. Caitlin and I got to take credit for all the planning, though!! ;)We made sure to be smart and dress warm. Brandan pulled out his new winter wear and snow pants...LOVE IT!!
Allison braved the ice ONCE and survived to tell the world! You GO Girl!
I was especially proud of Aly. Last time we hit the rink two years ago - she had a rough time getting her feet straight and only made it around once or twice, but TODAY she stepped out with out a doubt and spun herself silly around the rink a gazillion times!
Whether it was with Jessica or on her own - she didn't complain at all!

Brandan and Caitlin were pros and the last ones to get off the ice!

Jessica and Justin ***MWAH***The skating crew

...and probably my favorite picture from the day...
Who says LOVE HURTS?

Last stop: the Snow Bean - funny; I never saw it covered with snow before! It was a bit frosty, but we took in all the sights and called it a day...
Six days of break left....Next stop: lazytown.

What fun!!!! Makes me want to go try skating at this cheesy ice skating rink they set up here!! I love your pics and WAY TO GO Aly! All the cute winter gear makes me wish it got colder here for at least a little bit! No go scrap some of these!

Looks FUN! And you guys don't even look cold!!!! I may have to wait a few years to attempt that kind of trip, though. Love the group shots, and B kissing A <3 <3 LOVE it!
