Today was the best day possible for a little outdoor skating! There happened to be an outdoor skating rink right behind our hotel in Moline. And we were able to talk many Smith's into giving it a try. We were actually too warm while we were skating and removed some winter attire. So much fun! Rowan showed off for the kids and helped her cousins as well.
Julie and I needed proof that we could stand up on our skates. Neither of us fell either.
Rowan was pretty excited that Uncle Dusty and Aunt Julie skated with her. Dusty had brought his skates along the previous weekend to get on the ice when we were together, but we never made it out. So he had his skates in his trunk still, as did Ed and Rowan. Prepared!
Forgot about how after breakfast we headed to the pool. The pool extended to the outside. Was a bit chilly out there, but was fun for all.
Finally it was late enough in the afternoon that it was Smith Christmas time. I didn't get many pictures. But managed to get Rowan and her buddy, Kate. The kids were so busy playing together, they barely had time for pictures.
And of course couldn't miss an opportunity for a picture of the 4 Ed's. Great Papa didn't want to catch any germs from all of the family, so he was armed with a mask most of the trip. Picture perfect.
Forgot about our stop at the John Deere pavilion after lunch as well. The kids could stop there every time we are in town. They love to look at and climb on all the big tractors.
