Ice skating skills

Ryan has picked up ice skating in the last couple of months.  He's taking a class and private lessons.  He even had a Christmas performance this season.  He was excited to show us his moves and his skates so we joined him for open skate at Eccles Ice Arena.  My kids haven't been on the ice in years and the boys were definitely a little rusty.  Kelton fell more than any other kid, but he also got up the most often without complaint.  

Daxton learned it was a lot more fun with the walker to keep him upright.  Everyone took turns zooming him around the ice and he thought that was fantastic.  

Jeremy and Cambrie were trying to learn some skills with Ryan.  

McKenzie and Cambrie decided they should be ice skating partners and tried a few moves and they cruised along.  

I watched it all from the sidelines and soaked it all in.  (My knee was giving me grief).  It was fun talking with everyone as they came off the ice to rest a little bit.

I was a little surprised the kids lasted an hour and a half.  

I'm not sure how bruised their knees are going to be, but everyone had a great time out there.
