Ice-skating rinks pop up all over London during the holiday season. Below the London Eye, near museums, beside grand halls and next to palaces. Such magical backdrops for a fun holiday activity. We live very near to Hampton Court Palace, which also hosts a Christmastime ice rink. It was a fun holiday family outing, and pretty cool to skate in the shadow of King Henry VIII's palace.
By the end of our session Dallin and Madeleine were doing well making it around the ice without the aid of me or the wall!
Trevi didn't last long on the ice, but he enjoyed the festive atmosphere and hot cocoa all the same.
This is kind of a scrappy photo of me, but I really surprised myself at how decent I was on the ice. I haven't been ice-skating in probably over a decade, and probably only ever twice in my life. I loved it! I'm no Peggy Flemming, but I'm not bad if I do say so myself :)

If my girls were old enough to ice skate Hampton Court is exactly where I would want to head. Looks amazing!
I think it's a cute picture! Looks amazing.
