A new appreciation for olympic skaters

We finally made it onto the ice yesterday afternoon! Zoe always wants to go ice skating in the winter, but the calendar fills up and we only find ourselves out on the ice one time each winter.
(Notice Eleanor is down in the corner. She was down more than she was up on her feet!)







Zach did impressively well for his first time on skates. I thought he would be clinging to me, but he was off on his own most of the time. He has really good balance. I'm thinking hockey might be his sport. He was even jumping as he skated. He was starting to lose his balance in the next picture, but he quickly recovered and didn't fall.


We have high hopes to ice skate again on Thursday, so our skates are out and waiting. Ice skating TWICE in one winter...that would be a record for us.
