This morning we went down to Nikola Pasic Square in downtown Belgrade and did some skating. The city has an outdoor rink over the Christmas holidays and so we took advantage of skating. It was really nice to be surrounded by beautiful old buildings like Parliment and enjoying the fresh wintertime weather.

Owen is quite good and able to move around on the ice. This is from his roller blading in Venezuela. Ollie had a tough time with it and never did get the hang of it. He is a bit young. Nadia was getting into it and made it around the ice several times. I really enjoyed myself as I haven’t skated for a long time. We hope to go back again and are considering buying skates. We’ll see.

This afternoon I took my car down to get the oil changed and antifreeze put in. The air bag light keeps coming on so I also got that checked. We leave tomorrow for Slovenia so I wanted the car to be ready to go. Later on, Brad and I took the boys for a night walk through the parks near our house. We played spy games and the boys enjoyed it, despite the -2 Celcius (28 F) weather. The snow stayed on the ground from yesterday but no new snow today. There is a 20% chance of snow this weekend and temperatures will be below freezing both days.
