Finding some good puddles to
jump in?
Us too.
It’s still looking pretty
gloomy out there, but the weather is supposed to clear up beautifully this
weekend. We plan to do some gardening and maybe even go to a Ports game! It’ll
be Alice’s first.

Ice is Nice Skating Lessons
Confession: Sometimes I have dreams that I’m, like, a superstar ice skater. Is that strange? The sad fact is, I’m pretty terrible at it. Still, this sounds fun: The Stockton Figure Skating School offers beginner skating lessons from 12:30 to 1 p.m. on Saturdays to kids who might be interested in moving on to figure skating or hockey programs. The lesson is $7 and covers skate rental as well as admission to the 1-4 p.m. public skate session. Get there early – no one will be admitted to the class after 12:30 p.m. Oak Park Ice Arena, 3545 N. Alvarado Streetin Stockton.
