Ice Skating

Earlier this month we took the kids ice skating.  It has become a tradition to go every winter (at least once) for the last few years and we always have a blast.  This year Kade decided right away that he no longer needed the buckets to help him.  And sure enough he just took off skating.  He did fall many times, but only because he thought it was hilarious to fall on the ice.  He would try to skate as fast as possible just to see if he could crash.  Kristin is much more cautious and continued to use the buckets for support even though he had perfect balance.  Finally I convinced her to try by herself and she did it perfectly, it just took a bit of confidence. =)
