Skating with the family

Today we decided to head to open skate, Gabby was all excited to try skating and she really wanted me to 'teach' her. I was apprehensive because I hadn't been on skates for years and didn't know how I would help her while I was falling myself. Brian went to get our stuff out of storage and was unable to find my skates. We get to the rink and Gabby was telling her friends Ella, JT, Melia and Annie that she is the fastest on her skates and all excited to give it a try. Brian and Gabby went to the ice and I came out just mins. Behind them and Gabby was attached to Brian like a leech screaming, Brian said she didn't fall but got scared as soon as she was on the ice and continued to cry the whole time we were at the rink. We decided to put the skates on Brayden and sent him out with Brian. He loved it! And then all went down hill fast…Gabby kept crying, Brayden went on a two year old tantrum, wanting on the ice and then finally we get ready to go and then he doesn't. Brain left with the two little ones and Grace and I continued to skate together until it was over. This will be continued and we will try again another day.
