Last Saturday we went to a Santa Family Skate put on for CP Employees & their families. This was the first time we have taken Melissa ice skating (out of the stroller). She was so excited... talking in the car about how much she loves ice skating and all. Well I guess she sees characters on TV making it look like a piece of cake, gliding around on the ice. We tried to forewarn her about how slippery ice is etc. She had not an ounce of fear!
First few steps onto the ice... experiencing what we were calling "crazy legs"! It was a quick reality on what we were trying to prepare her for! There were some sketchy moments where Ken and I were wondering if this was going to be a short trip to the rink!
Lucky for Melissa, he father is really steady on his skates from many years of ice hockey. (worst part for me was now I was on my own without him to lean on!)
A little breather in the side boxes...
Melissa (& I) got steady enough that we could all three skate around together...
The closest Melissa would let Santa get to her. This year she has been keeping her distance from the big man in red.
Since this first skate, Melissa has been working on us to plan our next family skate. Maybe we have a future figure skater in our midst (and it certainly isn't me!).
