Ice Skating 101

The girls started Ice Skating today and LOVED it!!! I was pretty sure one of them would break something, but they survived. Ice skating in the desert isn't super popular, but since we have a rink down the street from our house, we figured.. why not??
Owen had a great time, as he does in every situation, and stood up in his stroller to yell "Go BOBO, Go GIGI". What a ham! Both girls took some hard falls, but got right back up and kept working on it. They both had permanent smiles on their faces... either they were really happy to be there, or they were frozen.
They learned to skate forward, stop, swivel backwards and jump on the ice. I was amazed at how much they learned in just the first 1/2 hour class.
Owen looks totally into it! I can't wait to get him out on the ice. I guess he should learn to walk first.
We ran into some friends from our past and it was great to catch up. Our kids have grown up SO much in the past few years. I can't wait to visit with them on Thursdays now. Small world.


Kamryn loved her first skating lesson and is already planning on sparkly pink skates! The blue rentals ones were just "not very good looking".
