Isaac goes Ice Skating

Sunday morning Isaac and I went downtown to go ice skating. This was Isaac's first time and he was really excited. He has watched a few shows lately (Olivia and The Backyardigans) where the kids have been skating so he had been talking about it for a few days. He wanted to learn how to do a figure eight and jumps!

When we got downtown we parked by my office, walked around a bit inside GM and had lunch. Then we took the PeopleMover to the Cadillac Center station. Isaac was really interested in all of the station names and was following along on the map.



The skating rink was at Campus Marcius, when we arrived we rented our skates. Isaac wears a size 7 and the smallest size they had was a 9....so we went with a 9. As you can see the look pretty big on him, but he did not mind.

We were the first ones there and the ice was nice and fresh, he and I were both surprised at how slippery it was (I guess I forgot). After a few minutes Isaac got pretty comfortable standing and would hold on to the rail by himself. By the end, he was standing on his own and pushing a little bit. He really liked it!

After he took his skates off he fell asleep immediately in the stroller and slept the whole way home....we were both exhausted.

Here is a short video and a few more pictures. Unfortunately, it was just us, so we did not get any video of the two of us skating.
