Skating Lessons

Ryan was registered for intermediate skating lessons, but due to lack of participants, he was bumped down to beginners.  Since he was much more advanced than the first year beginners (like Carter, barely able to stand on skates), they split the class and the instructor's daughter took half of the class and the instructor switched back and forth between the groups.  We brought Carter along to try to get him on skates, and he ended up participating in the class.  It is pretty slow going with him, but I am proud of him for trying.  He is so much more cautious than Ryan, I wasn't sure he would do it.  He's not too excited about it, but he is slowly getting the hang of it!

Carter falling - he figured out right away how to get up on his own!
