Speed skating hyjinx

Paula and her family are bigtime speed skaters. They've long been trying to attract us to "THE OVAL" http://www.skatetheoval.com/ - the world's largest refigerated sheet of ice.


WOW. It's the world's largest refrigerated sheet of ice. That's a lot of stinking ice. I believe it's bigger than 6 football fields laid next to each other. Seriously. A lot of ice.


Here's Paula's nephew Mack pushing Seamus around on a skate chair. The boys LOVE Mack - he's always great to them. However, after Seamus made him go around the oval (NOTE: largest sheet of refrigerated ice in the world) 6 times - he looked pretty tired. Luckily, Seamus cheered him on with wonderful motivational slogans such as "Faster, Mack, FASTER" and "Stop going so slow..." Thanks again, Mack.





Our buddy Finn took a lap with Paula's sister, Nancy. (Nancy is also Mack's Mom) We love Nancy -she's also great the Dougherty family. She does have this odd quirk - she always wears a tigger costume. You get used to it after a while. "the wonderful thing about Tiggers.....is Tiggers are wonderful things!"
