In the build up to the Olympics we started watching some ice skating with Maile and she absolutely loved it. From there she started pretending that our hard wood floor was ice and she’d skate around on her socks after dinner. Today, Mommy decided to introduce her to the real thing and they headed down to the Yerba Buena Skating Rink to try things out.
(Truth be told this was our second time trying to skate – two Christmases ago we had an aborted attempt at the rink they put up in Union Square. We lasted about 10 seconds on the ice that time. This time went WAY better…)
Holding on for dear life at the start ... but she got the hang of it pretty quick...
These buckets are genius - definitely don't recall that when I was little, but they worked out great - gave Maile lots of confidence on the ice to explore a bit on her own...
Mommy managed to capture some great short snippets of Maile’s first time out skating – I combined them into a video that captures it nicely I think…
