Austin's Ice Skating Adventure

We took Austin ice skating for the first time last night and it was quite the experience. The first couple of times around the ice he went with Mommy and Pa-Pa and he didn't do too well. He took a couple of spills and had a couple of meltdowns. Then he had one major wipe-out! That was the end of that, we had to practically had to carry him off the ice. After going inside for some hot chocolate and a pretzel he worked up the nerve to try again! Only this time he didn't want Mommy or Pa-Pa, he wanted Melissa (his step-aunt). So, he went out on the ice with Melissa and Jake who Austin know very well. They had a great time and were able to get Autin around about five or six times! After that he left in a great mood and was very proud of himself for ice skating so well. I was also so proud of him for trying so hard! It was a great time and a great new experience for him! Here are a couple pics.....
