Today was Evan's 1st skating experience. We decided that we've been way (that's an understatement) too inactive as a family in the past couple of years. And believe me it's starting to show! Adam and I used to love to hike, skate, cross country ski and walk. That was before 3 kids, an old house that needed renovating, shuttling kids to different activities, working multiple jobs.....well you get the idea. We've decided to make a real effort to become a more active family together. So today we laced up and headed for the public skate at the local arena. It was Claire's 2nd time and Evan's 1st on skates. We talked alot before we left about how it's O.K. if you fall down......even for mommies!
Claire is fantastic at staying on her feet and is really starting to get the hang of it. I could actually see her confidence growing as we circled the ice. Evan was pretty nervous but by the end of our skate he was shuffling around the ice without any help!! Next weekend we are off to go cross country skiing (totally more my sport). I can't wait for the kids to experience the peacefulness of skiing through the forest. There's nothing like it!
Here's a few pics from our fun day.
"You want me to do what?"
No smiles but no tears....not bad
Getting a bit tired and wanting to head to the snack bar!!
Out like a light........yes, my son sleeps armed so the monsters can't sneak into his dreams
