Skating in the sky

You may have heard that the John Hancock Center's 94th floor observatory, which many of you have visited, just opened an "ice" skating rink for public use.

Well, we also caught wind of a learn-to-skate program it was offering with Chicago Blackhawks-affiliated youth coaches - and we got the kids registered for the very first one this afternoon!

One of their friends, Zara, came along for the lesson, too, and they all had a great time.

(For the record, it's not ice. It's a synthetic XTRAICE surface, which Dad thinks looks and sounds just like our cutting board. But it's effectively the same as ice.)







We'll be skating on real ice soon!
