Let's Ice Skate!

Chris suggested the idea that we take up ice skating as a family.  I quickly agreed as long as I got to watch. I thought we would need at least one person in the house without a broken bone.  Plus with my weak ankle I was the perfect fit to sit on the bench.

I also liked the idea of Chris and Makenna having their special thing.  They each get lessons for the first half-hour and then they can do free-skate together.  Sometimes they're together, sometimes Makenna is taking off, sometimes Makenna is trying to find a reason to come off the ice.

I was impressed at how well they both did and how quickly they both learned how to skate forwards and backwards.  Here are some various pictures from different days of practice:
