Ski and Skate

We have been busy trying new things this week.  We took advantage of the snow and tried cross country skiing.  Granny and I each held a hand and only the little one had skis.  She did a great job keeping her feet straight taking her foot back when her skis crossed.  We went out for 10 minutes and then she decided she was done and we went back for 10 minutes.

Today we went to the roller rink for the first time.  It was a preschool and strollers skate.  There were about 20 people total.  It included rental, a lesson, snack, and 1.5 hours of skating.  I had not been on skates in over 20 years.  It is not like riding a bike.  I found the lesson useful.  We both learned how to fall and how to get up.   She did great.  We held hands on the rink, but she was confident on her own on the carpet off the rink.
