Today Trevor took the girls and I ice skating downtown at Campus Martius. It was so much fun and so very cold. The girls were all bundled up in their styling winter gear and looked absolutely adorable. Ariana looked like a million bucks with her khaki swede coat with a fur hood and a very colorful hat and a cream scarf. She looked like she just stepped off of a movie set. Her smile was so big there was no mistaking the fun she was having.
Julia looked so beautiful and grown up. She was wearing her new makeup and new plaid peacoat with a multicolor hat and scarf. She looked so old. She also looked like she could have just stepped off of a GAP billboard. I couldn't tell who was having more fun, me taking all the pictures or Trevor and the girls skating all over.
Trevor then took the camera and I went skating with the kids. We all had so much fun. They loved skating downtown. It is not that often that we get down to Detroit. Well, at least the girls and I don't get down there that often. Trevor, however, is down there Monday through Friday. It was nice of him to want to make that drive on a non work day to take us down there.
Once the girls decided they had enough and were too cold and hungry to skate any longer, Trevor took us to where he works. He then gave us what her called the "nickel tour". He showed us all the equipment he is responsible for and works on. The girls were very impressed. Trevor even took us in the creepy horror film-esc elevator. Now we know why he takes the stairs when he is a work. That elevator is CREEPY!
After the tour we headed over to Lafayette Coney. Trevor and I got coney dogs and coney fries and the girls got plain hot dogs. I don't know why they don't like coney dogs. Yum-o!!! I can see why people LOVE this place. Julia even tried the coney fries and liked them!!!! After Layette Coney we headed next door to American Coney. We figured we needed to do a taste test there to see which coney we liked best. So we had coneys and coney fries at American Coney as well. Very tasty too. American Coney is more commercialized and seemed like a chain. Lafayette was old diner style and authentic "hole in the wall". We thought Lafayette tasted the best and was our favorite. Definitely a place I want to eat at again.
I had a fantastic day with my wonderful husband and awesome kids. We created some great memories that I will treasure always.
