Skating!




SO Jim got into touch with some of his old friends from cabletime recently.. They are very involved in a rollerblade hockey league here. Since Katie is very into anything sports, Jim took her to practice the other nite and she loved it.... So Jim's friend told us about open skate on Sunday afternoons so we went today....


Katie was a little scared at first and did not really want to skate as evidenced by this pic:









Sarah on the other hand-was a natural, she took to it like water and did not want to stop for anything....





So I talked to Katie for a bit and explained if she wanted to play hockey she had to learn to skate and this was truly one of those times I was thanking God we have Noggin because we had recently watched an epsiode of Little Bill where he was learning to skate and was upset that he could not do it right away.... After that she told me she wanted to try again like Little Bill had... She went back out and after two minutes of us holding her hand - she was off- skating down the rink and back... Here is a picture of both of them skating at the end:




We had a great time and it was a great way for us to all be active and exercise as a family.. We will definitely be back soon if not next weekend...
