Loren Ice Skating

On Saturday 9/13/08 I decided it was time to finally take Loren ice skating. She has been asking me to go for a looong time. Since we won 2 free passes from the library for public skate at the crystal ice house, I figured it was time. She was really excited to go and I kind of was too! As most of you know, I ice skated competitively for a good 15 years, so I'm pretty comfortable on the ice!! Loren got out there and had no problems walking or staying on her feet! She actually could kind of skate! But she liked it best when I pushed her around the ice! At one point while trying to skate by herself, she fell. Since I couldn't find all our winter stuff (I had put it all in the attic for the summer), she didn't have any gloves on and the ice hurt her hands and she didn't like that AT ALL!!! So after that, she was kind of done!! I did a few jumps and spins and she thought that was really cool, and then we left. She skated for about 45 minutes, which was pretty good!!!


Here are a few pictures of Loren skating:

Video (sorry it's on its side, I forgot I can't change it with video...it's still funny to watch because Loren gets frustrated! This was taken just before we left)!!
