Ice-Skating

The girls decided they wanted to have ice-skating lessons.
(Although they have never skated in their life)
So we signed them up for beginner lessons.
They are having a great time,
although Afton says it's really hard!


Afton's class is learning to balance, move up and down, and go backwards.


Halle's first lesson involved how to get up off the ice and how to fall.
Now they are moving on to picking things up off the ice and moving their feet apart and back together in order to move forward.  She loves it and doesn't even mind the falling part!

How fun! Isabelle begged us to do that in Iowa, but we never got around to it. I swear Afton and Isabelle would be great friends if we lived closer!

Takes me back....where I grew up in Edmonton we could have an ice rink in our backyard all winter so all of us loved to skate even when it was below zero weather. Then on Friday night we would all go to an outdoor skating rink and pay to get in and freeze!!!
Love, Grandma J
