Skating in Atlanta???

Holland had been cold enough this winter that they got to skate on the canals again, which was one of my favorite things from my youth. It had been a lot of years since skating on natural ice was possible. I felt a little homesick when my mom sent pictures! So we decided to take the girls skating on a tiny ice-rink in Atlanta, to join in the Dutch skating craze. We were going to go on New Year's eve after watching a show from Cirque du Soleil (jungle fantasy, absolutely amazing), arrived just after 6 pm only to learn that it closed only that evening at 6 pm!
So we tried again one very cold evening 2 weeks later, and sure enough, the complete ice-rink was gone! Must have been a holiday treat only on which we missed out. Oh well. We played in a playpark for a while, and Tjonkje (Jasper) got to go down the slide for the first time all by himself. Here some cute pictures of the kids.
