Ice Skating!

This winter we decided to try out ice skating again. We enlisted the help of her friend Lena, who has taken lessons already so we thought it would help Liv learning to skate. This time she did much better! Since Steve and I both can skate we took turns with the girls on the ice, and Maddie hung out in the stroller watching the girls from the side.  We started off practicing learning how to fall and get up, and then taking steps and learning how to balance. About half way through we were able to use an "helper" that lets Olivia push it while learning to keep her balance.  It was a successful day skating and we will be putting Liv in lessons this year!

Olivia was very scared, and kept wanting Lena to hold her up!

Bend those knees and put the arms out!
