Ella was so excited to try ice skating - I'm pretty sure she imagined herself twirling around in a dress like one of the Disney princesses on ice. I had a feeling it was going to be one of those things that we'd rent the skates, and then she would last all of five minutes because her feet hurt, she would be afraid she would fall, or she'd be too cold. She's not real adventurous about trying new things ;). However, she pleasantly surprised us by getting right on the ice and LOVING it!! She was so cute pushing her little helper to stay balanced and she actually out lasted both Cody and I (our feet hurt so we took turns with her! Ha!). Ella pretty much had the ice rink to herself for the first hour we were there!
Poor Lucy had such a hard time standing on the side lines just watching. Unfortunately they didn't have ice skates small enough for her, so she didn't get to try it out. It's so hard to be a little sister and watch your big sister do all the fun stuff! Cody took her for a quick spin on the ice to feel like she was part of the action...
After ice skating, we had a beautiful dinner in the Lodge...both girls were so tired by that point...
As tired as we all were (Lucy hadn't napped all day), the girls rallied and wanted to go swimming after dinner...
We pretty much had the whole pool to ourselves too (worth it to go mid-week!)...
All tucked in for the night...we thought the girls would be so tired they would crash and sleep hard all night, but they both ended up waking up and crying in the middle of the night and Lu ended up in our bed for most of the night. Oh the joys of hotel stays ;)...
Watching Frozen in the morning so mommy and daddy could get another hour of sleep...
Ella's faces crack me up lately...
Before leaving, we went for a walk and then stopped at a great playground...
Lu complaining about he sun in her eyes...
Ella's eyes closed because of the sun...I give up!
