Ice Skating

Sam had his first ice skating class this week. He was very excited though I'm not sure he new exactly what ice skating was before we got there.

For the first two classes they do 15 minutes off the ice and then 15 minutes on the ice. Here they are practicing marching. The goals for Ice Tots 1 is just to teach them how to march on the ice and how to get back up when they fall.

Sam didn't try to move very much once he got on the ice.

Poor guy couldn't get back up after he fell down either.

The 30 minute class was over very quickly. It's nothing like the 45 minutes of activity with soccer.

Here are some videos of the class. If you watch Sam's feet closely, you can see that he actually tried to move them once or twice.

We had a snack and watched some of the other kids skate before heading home.
