Outside...all day!

Today was the nicest day we've seen this year - and we celebrated by being outside ALL DAY! Except of course for nap time. We started the day out going to the park in the morning, Grant & Cash played at the park while I went for a run. By the time Cash got up from his nap, it was still beautiful out, so we went back outside to play with his 'cars'. This refers to a few ride on toys and his bike. He's really really really into Disney Cars right now (I can't tell you how many times I've watched this movie - I could probably recite the entire thing) anyway he constantly repeats the words of Lightening McQueen "I. am. speed." and nothing is fast enough.  So he decided to 'work' on them and make them faster, all the while chanting 'I. am. speed.' It was a site to see.

Working on his car.

Pushing it up on the grass to get a better look.

Maybe the bike will be faster.

or not - better work on that too.

Finally some speed, almost fell off!

How did you spend this beautiful day? 

Put him on the ice? at two?

So I've been thinking about taking C skating for the first time, being a skater my whole life (and now a skating coach), I'm excited to get him started.  But C is a very cautious little guy, so I've been hesitant, I don't want to scare him off. However, after today, I think I'll get him out there as soon as I can.

I'm not sure if he'll like it so much once he hits the ice, but we're going to give it a shot. At what age did you put your kids on the ice?
