Ice Skating



Drew plays Hockey every Monday night and every Friday morning. He loves it. He got new skates for Christmas this year after skating on his old pair for ten years. It was time, and he is excited about having a good pair of skates. Drew was anxious to break in his new skates, so, we decided to take the girls skating. Cayleigh and Keira have been before, but this was Natalie's first time. She thought it was great. She did a good job standing up and trying to walk on the skates, but she didn't want to work at it for too long. She was content (mostly) to sit out on the ice and watch for a while too. Cayleigh and Keira enjoyed skating again. Keira, in her typical fashion, went all out and probably fell about 25 times. Poor girl. She had a great time, but her knees were completely bruised the next day. (I'm so glad that Drew made sure they wore their helmets.) Cayleigh really took her time, as usual. She only fell twice. I find it very interesting how different Cayleigh and Keira are. We enjoyed skating so much, that we took them again the next week.

Keep at it girls. Practice wins!!! I'm playing hockey twice a week and the skating is always a challenge.
Lots of love, Grandpa
