This past Monday, our local ice skating rink offered free skating for all during Winter Break. We're always up for an adventure and last year the kids enjoyed this a lot. I attempted to take all 4 of them myself, which didn't turn out too bad, but was a bit crazy! It's usually more fun with friends. Andrew had a hard time at first but got the hang of it and was really going fast by the end. Leah was bold right from the start and confident that she could do it all! Abi was a little hesitant but did just fine, using the handles most of the time.
And Jacob-- I didn't even put skates on him because I knew he wouldn't like it, and it was a good thing. He wore his boots on the ice but didn't even want to put the least amount of effort into NOT falling. He was purposely falling even though I was holding his hand the whole time! Probably he didn't like being cold? He was miserable. UNTIL-- his friend from preschool showed up, and suddenly all was well in the world. He and Collin skated together and finally Jacob smiled. Just as it was time to go. :)
