There was a slight snafu when we first got there. The 5, 6, and 7 year olds all went first and the rink didn't have enough small size skates. So, we took the 5 year old class around the corner to a Bakery for some hot chocolate. It was nice and warm inside and they got to eat cookies and have real (not Swiss Miss from a packet) hot chocolate with whipped cream on top! Then half way through their allotted hour, we took them back out and got skates from the older kids who had been skating first. It all turned out just fine in the end - they got a treat and got to skate!
The rink has these little penguins and bears that you can push to help you learn balance - Hayden ended up under it several times. He actually did really well especially for his first time, by the end he was in the middle without holding on. He can't wait to go back again!
Owen's class came next. They had to wait a couple of minutes for the ice to be cleaned, and then they took their turn. Owen took lessons for a little bit in Evansville when he was 3 or 4, but I don't think he remembered any of it. He still had fun though and it was nice for all of the kids to get out. His class actually got to go on a field trip to the Museum of Natural History the day before - I went too, but forgot to take my camera.
Exciting week for school!
