Zack had outdoor hockey practice & parents were asked to skate

I used my ass as a zamboni 5 times

but oh my word it was SO fun!!!

while we were at the lake we skated on the river

I got a puck in the knee at our hockey game

It was black & blue but scored a few times :)

and shocked the crap outta a few with my skatin skills

It was awesome to be outside with so many of our friends & family

we ate continuously

laughed loudly and

enjoyed our time together SO SO MUCH!!!!
