This Saturday Luke was invited to an ice skating party. I was pretty skeptical about 5 and 6 year olds trying to ice skate. Although Luke and Rachel were excited about going, I figured they would get tired of it pretty quickly. After all, they tend to avoid any activity where there is a potential of being hit, pushed, falling, or anything too challenging.
As you might suspect, they started out glued to the wall ruling out any real chance of a fall.
Then all of a sudden Luke got a little brave.... He let go of the wall and did not look back.
He fell several times, but he kept getting back up without complaining....well he did complain that his hands were getting cold from the ice.
Luke did AWESOME ice skating!!!! He really shocked me!!!
Rachel did start to let go of the wall some, but did not venture far from it in case she needed it.
The kids really enjoyed ice skating!! They did not want to leave and can't wait to go back again! I am so proud of them trying something new and challenging!!! They found a new activity they really liked.Here is a little video of Luke skating across the ice. I did not get the focus right, so it is a little blurry.
