Ice Skating

We took all the kids ice skating last weekend. While she could use a lesson to learn some of the finer points of skating, Genevieve skates like a champ.  She was really good about not leaving the little ones behind.  I would have liked to skate with her but it wasn't in the cards.  I was either helping Sophie around the rink or Jonah.   Sophie, after a few minutes managed to "get it" but, in true Sophie fashion, would take some pretty hard spills.  Jonah was clearly too young to be on the ice with our level of commitment.  He couldn't keep his ankles from bending and was practically in tears.  He didn't give up though.  After his first circuit, which took about 20 minutes, he took a 40 minute break.  I assumed he was done for the day but after several snacks he came back out for two more circuits.
Here is Sophie using a cone for support.
