Friday I took Audrey out to parent and tot skating at Rickard Arena to try Audrey on the ice for the first time. She was cute in her helmut (she calls it a headband) with Hello Kitty (pronounced Allo Kiddy) stickers on it. Audrey was very persistent and didn't get frustrated at all. She could even stand for a few seconds on her own, and with help march along. I think she'll be much more of a natural on the ice like her Daddy than her Mommy.
Maxwell has been in the Frostbite Hockey program at The Ice Shed. Since September, every Sat morning he has had 30 minutes of power skating instruction from Cynthia and then 30 minutes of hockey skills with Jordan. But now, the kids are in big arenas, mostly the Legends Centre and are doing a bit of skills with Scott and then are playing a game. We are so thrilled with Max's enthusiasm about playing this year. Last year he lost interest and we took him out but this year he has initiated wanting to play and he is having so much fun. His skating has really improved and he is scoring goals and getting into it. It looks like we have a hockey player!
