spinning

We love to complain about our long, arctic winters here in Minnesota, but there are plenty of reasons to get outside and enjoy the cold weather. A major reason, one that is an important part of Minnesota culture, is to spend time on the ice. After all, with more than 10,000 lakes, there's plenty of the hard stuff around.

Most parks feature an outdoor skating rink. Our house is close to Logan Park which has two hockey rinks with a skating rink between them. Last winter I was able to get out one time with Anna. I skated and pulled her behind me in a little red sled. This week we went back to the park. We ventured out onto the ice, even though we didn't have the skates or sled with us. Anna sure had fun spinning, though.

Love the video. Probably my favorite home video I've seen in awhile, if not ever.
