neither of the kids have ever skated on ice before, but they were both excited to try. we were surprised to see how many pads and layers must be worn to play hockey. it took a full hour to get the kids dressed to play.
because the kids were so focused on the stick and puck, the ice skating part came fairly simple, especially for taegan. she took off. cooper was a little slower, but did an amazing job learning to balance. some of the smaller kids pushed chairs around the ice to balance, but cooper totally skipped it. he just went out there and figured it out. yeah, he fell a lot at first. i felt so helpless watching him. i couldn't run out there and pick him up or ask if he was hurt. he would just get up and keep trying. you can see in the pictures that he did a great job. i was so proud of both my kids.
wish manuel could have been there. he was at home with his parents.
