Toe Pick

Last night we went ice skating with some friends. We told Jake where we were going and what we would be doing and he was pretty pumped. He has been to a few hockey games and Brooke has recently joined a hockey league, so Jake has seen lots of skating on ice. He is a cautious kid, so I was surprised at how ready he was to try it out.

He was very cooperative while Brooke got the little skates on him and laced them all up.





Here is his first time out on the ice...all bundled up. I was amazed that he was still fearless and excited for his adventure in skating.




















He finally makes contact with the ice! He was a little nervous and not quite sure what to do with his legs, but he kept at it.





By the end of our time there, he eventually (with a few breaks) made it around the rink TWO times! Way to go Jake!! He was a trooper and we all had a great time.

One of Jakes favorite parts about going to hockey games (besides eating the popcorn and nachos) is seeing the Zamboni clean the ice. He was pretty excited when there was a Zamboni off to the side of the ice rink that we could go look at. What a fun night we had!

How fun! We've never taken the boys. Jake was so brave!

Looks like you all had fun. We went ice skating last weekend also with the whole family for our ward activity. Maddie was in her stroller while I helped Brinley and Jon helped Brooklyn. She'll have to try it next time.
