Our First Skating Day!

Hip Hip Hooray!  We did it...thanks to all the help from the grownups who were able to come to the arena today. All kinders had skates on and off in record speed! We can never thank you enough!

I have never been so proud of all the kinders. We had so many friends that put on skates for the first time only this morning. And they were so brave. Even with frequent falls and bumps they survived and all promise to come back and try again next week. I even have my helmet and skates ready to skate with the friends next week! I can't wait!
