Mommy and Me Ice Skating

Okay, so it really is not Mommy and Me, it is lessons from age 3 to adult. The other three ladies in the class also have their little ones. The ladies and I got used to being on skates today, I need to get some arch support things before the next class to see if that helps with the rental skates. Took me forever to break in my old skates but I have no clue on where they are.
Lon had fun for the most part with his class. He wanted to skate with me, and he wanted me to teach him because as he told his teacher I am not very good at ice skating.


Lon being led back to his class after a Mommy break.

I know it is far away, it is as close as I could get with the little camera. I was not about to being my good Christmas camera to the ice! If I fell on this one, I would not be happy, but I would not cry like I would cry if I ruined my beautiful camera. Lon is standing up on his skates. He can stand very well.
Lon also falls well.
After lessons we did a skate around the edge of the ice together. Then Lon said he was done. So we went and took off skates. We have a full 1/2 hour after lessons to practice. Lon said he would come back to lessons next week. I think he will start to like it as the class goes along. As I get better and can help him during practice I am hopeful he will like skating more and more.

How fun, Lon certainly is being exposed to many different activities. Smart mom!

I was never able to ice skate, now roller skating is a different story! :)

Good job, Mommy. I am proud of you for even putting on ice skates. I did once and hit my head very hard. No more skates for me. I will watch you and Lon.
Did you take your skates with you when I moved. Are they in the crawl space?
Love you, MOm

I try to get him in lots of things, since we have access to lots of fun things around here!

Nope, we have no skates here. I think we sold them when you moved.
Lon wears his helmet and pads while skating.

Hey Susan,
Where are you going ice skating? Looks fun! Hunter wants to go! Not sure I have the guts like you to get out there though... LOL

Kingsgate Ice Arena. We signed up through Kirkland Parks and Rec. Lon says he wants to go back on Tuesday. We are having fun and I am getting more comfortable on skates!
