One of the things we are trying to do is have the boys try a lot of different things to see what they like and are good at. Today they started ice skating and if they enjoy it hopefully moving toward hockey.

They both did amazingly well. We were surprised at how fast they picked it up!
They were 'skating' around on the ice before the end of the first session.

DJ is an anxious boy and before we got there he was very nervous about the ice breaking and falling into the water. No matter how much I reassured him he couldn't get the thought out of his head.
He was a little clingy at the beginning of the lesson because of the unexpected, but after getting out on the ice he did a wonderful job.
It was fun watching them teach these little kids how to do things. I loved that they did songs like 'Once there was a Snowman' to get them to fall on the ice so they could practice standing up after falling.
This is a small clip from the on your own practice time. They had their 30 minute lesson and then got to free skate for 15 minutes. DJ ended up skating the entire length of the rink by himself. We are excited to see what they will be able to do after next week!
