My Ice Skater

John and Andrew took Adeline ice skating a while back.  She was pretty excited!



Off they go!


She had trouble getting started.  She was very uneasy and didn't understand how to balance herself. They have these skating aids to help with people who are just starting out and even that was hard for her.



John is a really good skater and a pretty good teacher!


She got a little tired and needed a break.



After her break I suggested that she try and hold on the wall to get her balance.


Here she is started to trust herself and let go....


Pretty good!


Oops...grab the wall!  Don't fall!


After only 30 minutes she is skating by herself with the aid!  



Look at her move!


Getting a little speed with Johns help!




Good job Adeline!  We are so proud of you!

I love all the pics. The kids are growing so fast. I'm so excited for you guys that you were able to buy a house. I am impressed with Daniel's garden. I love gardening! Miss you guys so much and maybe we can Skype sometime soon.
Love you guys,

Great pix Amber, especially of Adeline skating. I remember when our kids learned to skate on the pond by the farm house. And Grandad pulling them around the pond on their sled. What fun memories you are building for her! Love and miss you all tons, Auntie M
