First Time Skating

How lucky are we that the park on our street has an outdoor skating rink on it?  In the afternoons we see kids heading up there with their skates and hockey sticks.  It is so much fun to watch.  Next week they have a hockey game on with a bonfine and hot chocolate - its on the calendar and we are looking forward to rugging up and watching a game! 

Last weekend we went and got skates for the kids.  They were about $40 each.  Hayden has Lightening McQueen ones of course!


Here he is getting his skates on for the first time...

Woah it isn't as easy as I first thought!
Insert sound of Hayden whinging.  He thought he would be playing hockey by now!


Getting there....


Oopps he stacked it and cracked it! 


Bella's turn, she thinks she will be an ice dancer when she grows up.  We had to do a twirl but forgot to do a leap, maybe next week.


Rhys, the kid has guts.  He was very scared but wanted to try something new!  He was the best of all three. 
Now to look at skating lessons for them!


Daddy and Bella- are we having fun yet?  Please note Johns new jacket, it is triple goose down!
