Ice Skating

For Kari's birthday she wanted to go ice skating. Even though it's not quite her birthday we attempted this activity last Saturday. A few months ago she went with Steve to Disney Princesses on Ice and assumed that she too would be able to gracefully glide along the ice. Right before we left Steve informed her that skating is very difficult and that she would probably fall down numerous times. She looked a bit taken aback, but smiled and said that's okay. Luckily for both of us the ice rink had these cool little "walkers" to hang on to. She used a walker for the first half and was able to "skate" by herself for the last half hour. Even though she did indeed fall numerous times (and also wipe out innocent skaters) she loved every minute of it and never once complained about how hard it was.
