Skating In December

After Christmas we had a few really nice, warm days.  It was time to learn how to skate for Taryn and time to see if we remembered how for Tyson. 
Oh this girl is the purple princess.  She actually didn't do half bad for her first time on skates.  She never fell, but that is because we held on to one hand the whole time.
What a sweet picture of brother and sister.
Taryn decided after an hour of holding our hands to skate, that she might be able to do it by herself.  It was so awesome to see her be so brave and try it on her own.
Oh yeah, here he comes.  The kid figured out the way to skate on his roller blades.  He was flying around the tennis courts.
A few days later the rain and snow came and we couldn't skate outside.  Bummer!!!  Luckily for us they have an indoor skating rink 15 minutes away.  Taryn really liked the smooth skating rink floor.
Tyson was trying to race everyone around the rink.  He was wobbly the first 20 minutes but then he figured it out and was off like a rocket.  He wanted to race us.  After we had been at the rink for about 2 hours they had actual races for the different age groups.  Tyson was thrilled!  He was beat by this really fast little kid, but he was okay beating everyone else.
This girl skated by herself.  She loves her skates she got for Christmas.  Yeah for mom and dad!  We got her something she wanted and likes.
There she goes.  We had such a blast roller skating.  It has become my new favorite thing to do.  I cannot wait to bring the kids again.  They loved it and they were active.  Yes!!!  The new year is going to be great!
