What a wonderful moment to capture. I love that all three of them are unaware of the camera. Jackson looks so focused and serious…and Olivia looks the opposite – laid-back with her lollipop! đŸ™‚

Ha!!! That’s awesome!! My Canadian hubby would LOVE to be doing the same thing…in fact, he just dug out his skates from the attic!! đŸ˜€
Donna-Lee Randhawa says
Brings back some great memories of my own Canadian childhood. đŸ™‚
Deborah says
What a great Dad.
Lorie Shewbridge says
Cool for daddy… Olivia is more interested in the lollipop than the ice skating.
Is it a requirement in Canada for boys to know how to play hockey??? Just asking… đŸ™‚
Great photo, I love family time!
GregoryJ says

I’ve seen Wordless Wednesday around and I did it today. Another blogger saw it and asked me who owns it and if there is a button. I tracked you down through He & Me & 3. I came up with a button. Below is the code. You’re welcome to use it. It does link to our blog.
Stacey Blevins says
looks like fun!!!
Brae says
I LOVE wordless wednesday!!! I added my link to mr linkey thing- i have had very few visitors to day. Sad!!!
I love the pic- my 2 year old has the same flowery sweater.
Mindy says

mizhelle says
awww sweet! priceless moment!
Petula says
I like that photo. Olivia looks like she doesn’t give one ounce of trouble. đŸ™‚ Appropriately distracted with a lollipop. How was the game?
Tarasview says
yep, definitely a classic Canadian picture đŸ™‚
Adrienne says
How sweet that pic is.
BTW- I have something (award) for you on my blog, because I appreciate your contributions to the world of mom blogs. Come check it out, and claim your sunshine.
Lynn Smith says
Yeah for Canada and promoting hockey and sport to keep our children active!!
Great Picture
Amy says
I used to LOVE going ice skating with my friends when I was younger! It was always so much fun đŸ™‚
ali says
That’s an unfamiliar scene to me–except for the ring pops at sporting events, those we have!
Jeannie says
That looks like it would be a blast to watch. I am good on roller skates, but ice skates are a different kind of animal!
Kara says
What a great candid shot!!
KLTTX says
Love it. My 6 year old son plays hockey too but we live in Dallas so it’s not nearly as popular as say football.
Jingle says
It is a great shot, though! Looks like a fun day!
Brandie says
That is really cute! Love how Olivia is completely oblivious because she has her treat! So cute!
Susie's Homemade says
That’s perfect, isn’t it?
Mellisa says
What a great photo!! I wish that we had an ice skating rink close!! My boys would love it I think!
Marie says
Love how both kids just look bored and casual. Tells you that this is a super involved dad and his helping is an ordinary event. Awesome!
Shannon (The Mommy-Files) says
That’s an awesome picture! LOL đŸ™‚
Ă¢â„¢Â¥ Happy Wednesday! Ă¢â„¢Â¥

The Gang's Momma says
I’m sooooo late this a.m! We had a two hour delay and are all moving out of synch. But the sleeping in felt delightful đŸ™‚
My cousins always played hockey and I found it interesting how they could be so brutal on the ice but off it they were big teddy bears . . . Looks like your hubby might be the same đŸ™‚

I love how Olivia’s having a sucker.
shelly says
How neat to have dad as his coach! I love watching hockey.

Looks fun (although I’ve never got the hang of ice skating). Love your little girl’s outfit – she looks so cute leaning there.
Sandy says
That looks like fun! Can you believe that I have never been ice skating! I am sure my kids would love it!
Sherry says
What fun! I haven’t done ice skating in for-ever!

Yay for hockey! We just enrolled our 4 year old this winter and he loves it!
jen says
Love the before the game moment you captured.
Amy says
Beside wanting to be “Kid Canada” on CBC, this is the other reason I’m sure my son would beg to be Canadian. He’s almost 3 and wants blue ice skates and a hockey stick. He asks for them daily. LOL
Auntie E says
Great looking family..My daughter loves ice staking, my boyfriend Loves hockey.
My WW link for you

Annie says
That is so sweet! I love the look on your son’s face….just waiting for it to be done.
I could tell from your accent in Say it Face to Face that you were from somewhere up north…Canada makes perfect sense! đŸ™‚
Happy WW!
Milk & Honey Mommy says
Janice,
Does Phil lace up the shoes of all of his players :)?
Anita says
Ah yes! Putting on ice skates and lacing them up is quite a feat! đŸ™‚

Love it! Makes me long for the days that I went to NHL training camp and had season tickets for our local hockey team.

LOL, love Jackson’s expression, and how Olivia’s much more interested in that ring pop. Great photo! đŸ™‚
