School trip

When Faith got back to school after Christmas, we found out that the kids were going on a field trip to the local arena for a morning of skating. I volunteered to go and help tie skates...you can imagine what taking two classes of 5 year olds skating can be like.

The morning of the trip, Faith informed me at breakfast that "Daddy said to make sure you don't go on the ice." Sheesh!

Anyway, the trip was fun for everyone (although laughable for me trying to get around my pregnant belly while tying skates :). The kids were quite amazing. They ranged from pro skaters to never been on blades.

Faith did a great job. She skated around and around and around and around, thanks to a little help from the "kid bars" at the arena. She even skated by herself for a bit (with a little help from her teacher).
