Lacing up!<\/p><\/div>\n

Under a bright blue sky and a warm winter sun, au pairs came out of hibernation today to enjoy ice \u00a0skating at the Frog Pond on the Boston Common.\u00a0 Along with many other New Englanders young and old, our au pairs strapped on borrowed or rented ice skates and gracefully glided around the pond while gazing at the cityscape surrounding them. The golden dome of the State House, which is just a stone’s throw away, glistened in the background and park benches surrounding the Frog Pond were filled with interested spectators enjoying the activities on the ice.<\/p>\n

Enthusiastic\u00a0 au pairs came out to practice what was either a new sport for them or one that they had not practiced in quite a while. They hooked arms as they laughed their way through the throngs of other skaters.\u00a0 \u00a0We hope that this will be the first of many visits to the Frog Pond for these skating au pairs and those that were unable to attend will give it a try at another time. \u00a0\u00a0Check out our photos of the skaters!<\/p>\n
