This was the first time, ever, for J to be on ice skates. He spent most of the first lesson down on his bottom. Watching him fall repeatedly, my doubts began to arise.

Ice Skating
Since we have a few weeks before spring sports begin, all of our children decided to improve their ice skating skills. They are enrolled in Learn to Skate classes at the local ice rink.
