Ice Skating Date Night!

Saturday January 22nd we had such an incredibly fun date night. We went out with friends--four other couples--to dinner at Osaka (Japanese Bistro), went ice skating at Dixie Igloo (a seasonal outdoor rink), and went for hot chocolate (salted caramel hot chocolate to be exact...YUM) after. It was a fabulously fun evening!
Judy's, Hirschi's, Bergquist's, Heppler's, and Minnicks. I apologize for the poor quality of the pictures, but I am currently using an ooold camera (mine is in need of a small repair), but something is better than nothing to capture great times and good memories! Between the 10 of us we have 10 children so it was nice to get a night out as friends and adults and just have fun.
I have only been ice skating a handful of times in my life--maybe two or three times?--so at first some of us gals just clung to the side. I ended up getting comfortable just in time for us to leave.

The hot ladies on the rink! [Manuela, Amberly, Aimee, me, and Alicia] Bad Johnny sneaking into the girl's picture.
The boys ready to race! [Jed, Aaron, Johnny, BJ, and Jordan]

Blades of glory! Guess you could say we faked being a figure skating pair.

Aaron spent 3/4 of the time goofing around and showing off; I had no idea he could skate so well! He was doing all the moves and figure skating spins, etc. It's all from his rollerblading days. He spent his teenage years on roller blades. I must say he was in a rare mood. Jed put it well: "He's in his element." Made for an extremely entertaining time. Also made for a very irritated Natalie when a 14 year old love-struck stalker-girl followed him around almost the entire time. Apparently she was just so impressed with his skating...not knowing he was just goofing around and skating sarcastically.


Strike a pose!
All such cute couples and complimentary pairs!
Amberly is the one to introduce me to salted caramel hot chocolate. Heaven bless her soul and good taste buds.

We had the best night and I'm grateful to have such great, fun friends!
