Ice Skating

Ice skating at the Ice Sheet in Ogden with the Bevan Family.
This was Allie and Kaden's first time ice skating.





Kaden was doing a great job until he fell down and sliced his finger along the edge of Easton's skate. Luckily Jaren was close by and took him off the ice to find some bandages. I just had to follow the droplets of blood to find where they were. It sliced him pretty good! There actually was an ER doctor that looked at it to see if it needed stitches. I have never seen Kaden so brave. We just put a couple of bandaids on it to hold the pieces of skin together. After it was all over, Jaren took him into the bathroom and he said he was starting to get sick to his stomach and feeling like he was going to puke. He had been sitting there staring at his cut the whole time and was finally starting to get woozy. He did great the rest of the night though.
Looking a little pale:(
