Right after work we took the kids to the rink again to play around. This time we brought our hockey sticks and a ball. When we arrived we had half the rink, while the bigger kids from the neighbourhood played hockey on the other half. Unfortunately, as we played around, the hockey net was encroaching further and further onto our half...pushing us into the rough ice at the end...until eventually we had no where left to skate. Still...we had a good time. Noah can now slide a few steps before falling....a huge improvement from yesterday where he was trying to master standing. Eth is doing excellent, as is Julia.
What's the rule about outdoor rinks? There was certainly enough of them to play hockey on the whole rink...but it didn't leave any room for the younger kids. Should the rink stay divided in half so that the half a dozen little guys get a place to play while the dozen bigger guys are squished into the other? Next time we are going to try eating really early and getting there when the hockey players are having their supper.
