Well, ice skating is going splendidly. It's officially K's favorite sport. K is a speed demon to say the least. He loves skating, and his goal is to get good enough to start hockey lessons. G is loving it, too. By the end of his first lesson, G was up more than he was down, and was picking up some momentum. And as some of my dear friends know, the fact that both kids skate out onto the rink without looking back is huge to me. They haven't always responded well to new situations (and I'm still a bit scarred from a dance class that K took when he 3/4, even though he hasn't done that for a long, long while), but now at 7 and 4, they're taking everything in stride (better than their momma, I might add, who still mentally freaks out on her way to Improv class, *every* time).
Here are some pics. They're not terrific, as I was having trouble capturing action shots with the poor lighting (couldn't use a flash because of the plexiglass around the rink), and the distance (I was at the far end of the rink from them most of the time), and the sheer number of people on the rink at any given time. K's class was a bit quieter than G's, since it's at 2:00pm. G's 4:45pm class is peak time, when the number of people at the Sportsplex is overwhelming. So, these were the only two shots that weren't blurry:
