Our Winter Carnival started yesterday. Ice sculptures are always a part of it. Here I am in front of one, which is in front of one of the coolest buildings in downtown St Paul. That building has a lot of history that happened there. John Dillinger, Baby Face Nelson and Machine Gun Kelly were all tried there when it was a federal Courthouse. Anyways, I didn't intend to talk about the Landmark but it shows up so nicely in this picture Margaret took, that I just had to mention it.
We were able to go ice skating today at the Wells Fargo rink. It was very balmy out. We haven't done much skating at all since we moved here, 5 years ago, so it is pretty much a new experience for the kids. They really liked it, once I tied their shoes tight enough, that is. A lady that works there came up to Margaret and asked if her shoes were to big or else she needed to tighten her laces and that did the trick for both Harrison and her.
The rink closes next Sunday so I hope to get them there a few more times this next week so they can really feel comfortable skating. They rollerblade some so that did help them get comfortable on the ice. Still both Margaret and Gregory said that their bottoms hurt this evening from landing a few to many times.Tomorrow, Lord Willing we will be heading out to the Grande Day Parade. Hopefully the rain stops. It is a sheet of ice on the driveway and sidewalk right now.
Until next time,

That looks like a lot of fun. I haven't been ice skating for quite a while. :) The ice sculptures look neat too.
Oh that looks like a lot of fun. I really miss ice skating. Back in the day when winter meant fellowship dinner every sunday followed by play practice and then ice skating.
