Ice Skating Lessons

Eli has been bitten by the ice hockey bug! When you live in Minnesota, it's a sport that some start pretty much at birth. Scott & I are not thrilled about the idea but we agreed that ice skating lessons would be a good place to start.

Most of the sessions we just rented skates at the rink. In the end, we bought a used pair from Play It Again sports so that he can skate out back on our pond.

Daddy was giving some tips before the lesson.


Eli became quite the skater after 1 session. He can skate backwards, glide on 1 foot & speed skate. Unfortunately, he broke his arm right before Christmas & hasn't been on skates since. 

I'm not sure what the future holds for ice hockey but he really enjoyed learning how to ice skate!
