The First Day of Skating Lessons

October 30th was the first day of the girls’ skating lessons. They were so excited. I have been putting this off for a few years but because there are no dance lessons being offered this year, we decided it was a good time to skate. They had a fantastic time and they both did much better than I had expected! Here is Rosie on the ice with some skating helpers. She managed to move forward and backwards as well as doing the classic “Head and Shoulders” song all while staying upright.I call that a success.

I couldn’t get any pictures of Brookie this week because of where she was skating but I will try again next week. She did really well too. She learned how to glide forward and backward.

After all that exercise, the two little skaters happily enjoyed a snack while watching some of the other classes practise. I think it is going to be a very fun year.
