Ice Skating Lessons for the kids - Villagio Mall

Nicholas and Gabrielle have both been enrolled by their Dad in ice-skating lessons at our local mall. You must know that neither of them have ever been off firm ground before, much less been on ice with skates; so, needless to say, Momma (who is the one with the difficult task of taking them to class) was quite nervous! Surprisingly, they have both done very well. Nick is no longer grabbing on for dear life to his coach's hand any more; and Gabrielle has even gone off on her own for most of her lessons. They both have truly been having so much fun! Even Mom has to admit, she loves to see them having fun on that ice and trying hard. And even when they fall down, which is more often than not, they have learned to just get right back up....we're so proud! The only complaint they have had is that their poor little legs hurt....I wonder why! Pictured with Nick are two of his fans: Hannah Jackson (Todd's wife) and Becky Holmes (Big Dave's wife).
