Ice, Ice Baby

Carter was on ice skates today for the first time. Here is a pictorial description of his debut on the frozen tundra:

His first attempt to stand on his skates:

I think he may have realized he is wearing figure skates…

and not hockey skates….(next time buddy you can have boy skates!)

Before we hit the ice, he’s not quite sure what’s going on;

He’s up,

but not too crazy about it! Please help me Grandpa!

I take over and we manage to get all the way around the rink once. He even managed to move his feet and skate a little.

Once around was good for now. The boys took and break and Reagan and I skated for a while longer. She is getting to be a really good skater. She can do all of these fancy turns and spins that Jeff can tell you the names of thanks to his sister Rebecca and her years of figure skating.

The thing that Carter liked the most? Yep, you guessed it, the Zamboni resurfacing the ice at the end.
