Ice Skating Practice

The Boys on the IceAlex is signed up to start hockey lessons on February 10th, so we headed over to the ice skating rink today for an introductory session on the ice. Jeff had not been on ice skates in 20 years, so he was a little uncertain about his ability to teach Alex how to skate. His natural athleticism kicked in and he was at ease (even skating backwards) in no time. Alex took a little while to warm up, but by the end of the time, other fathers of young boys shared their disbelief about this being his first time.

Hold On Tight

A Little Help From Dad

No Hands!!!

Mom and Elena watched from the stands. At first, Elena was content to play with her baby and princess phone. But as the time got closer and closer to nap time, she went into full-on crazy mode, running laps in the stands. So we let Alex and Jeff know it was almost time to go on their next pass-by.

One More Lap Dad!
