Ice Skating

Just wanted to share what fun we had today ice skating. The local ice rink has a homeschool day on the first Thursday of the month. Their program includes skate rental, lesson and skating for 2.5 hours all for $5.00.

We had the best time. At first the boys were awkward and timid about getting on that ice. Dillon quickly picked it up but for Ian it was challenging. Even after falling many times he still kept on going, I was amazed at his persistence. In the end he was almost speed skating. The confidence they gained in themselves today in this physically challenging activity was wonderful to witness. It really hit me today just how blessed we are to be home with our children, watching their growth - inside and out.

Ok not to go on and on. I really just wanted to share with you and say if any one wants to go next month, let me know.
