Months ago, I bought a deal for ice skating lessons for the girls. I figured Lila would need parent help and I thought, poor Brian! Sucker will be out on the ice. Ha ha, joke was on me! Nora needed to be a parent as well, so that meant both of us were on skates. As I registered, I asked Brian if he knew how to ice skate. He did not and neither did I. When I mentioned this to the scheduling lady, she suggested we practice a bit before coming. Ha ha! Like we have time for that and if we are getting a sitter, that is not the ice I am interested in (we would be more interested in the kind that goes into a margarita!)
So on the skates went...on all five of us! Luckily, the girls had on helmets, but I started to wonder why I didn't pack ours. As soon as we stepped out on the ice, I was petrified. I could not imagine how I was going to help Lila or Nora stay up and keep myself up as well. Clara was in a different class so I could see her barely out of the corner of my eye (because I was too occupied with keeping mine on the wall)
Nora and Lila did good! They were scared at first, but Nora really started to get how to stay up. Lila needed help, but just being out there was an accomplishment! Clara loved it also. All three want to go back next week, so that must be a good thing! I am on the count down...one down, five more classes to go!

Funny!!! Can you go on the ice in tennis shoes? That is how I did it all last winter when we were going to Southlands. Tommy wore skates, Mommy scooted around the ice in nice, flat tennis shoes....no time for a broken ankle in my schedule!!! Good luck!
Love that idea Kim! Penny you have to ask! It would save your back too.
