Ice Skating

Posted By on February 10, 2019

Yesterday Sam tried ice skating for the first time! She has been begging me for years and we just never manage to go. One of her classmates had a birthday party at an ice skating rink and Sam was so excited! She tried to get me to go with her, but um…no. The first time I am on ice skates will not be at a school party! She did ok for her first time. She only fell once or twice, and although she wasn’t exactly gliding along, she did manage to shuffle her way around the ice.

After a while she wanted to try one of the walker sort of things. I don’t think it really helped much, but she wanted to try.

All the girls seemed to have a good time, and that’s what it’s about, isn’t it?

Eventually, her friend Zoe got her out on the ice to be a little more daring. We did figure out that Sam likes figure skating skates rather than ice hockey skates, so there is that. I promised her we would try to go again sometime and that I would get out there with her. Hopefully, I won’t wind up on my butt more than on my feet!
