Slip Sliding on Skates

Today I tried ice skating for the first time. Mommy took me onto the ice while Daddy watched us and took photos.

The ice is really slippery and it isn't as easy to skate as I thought it would be. To start, Mommy and I just walked around the edge of the rink until I felt more comfortable with skates on.

Skating is pretty hard and I fell a lot of times. With Mommy's help, I learned pretty quickly how to get up on my own.

Mommy thought it would be easier for me to learn if I pushed a cone around on the ice. It did help my skating and my getting up.

I think I had fun today. I'd like to try skating again (but not anytime soon).
