Ice Skating

Belle has been asking to go ice skating for awhile now. I'm not sure where she got this idea, maybe she saw something on tv. Well since we were heading to Troy for Christmas and the Hobart Arena is so close, I thought we'd give it a shot.

Now Belle has never even been on skates. At all. We got off to a rough start. Belle wanted to keep moving her legs really fast. But she eventually got going at a good pace and learned to move slowly. I was getting one heck of a workout by trying to keep myself upright, and also pick Belle up off the ice.

In an hour we made it around the rink 2.5 times. She swears she had fun, but asked to go home and cut through the center of the rink. Maybe we should get her some roller skates so that she can practice. 

This was the best pic I got on my phone. I think she was too scared to look at me and lose focus.


And video of course.
