Ice Skating

After watching Disney on Ice at home in MA, Emma came to me the next morning as she was trying to spin around on one leg and asked why she couldn't move like the princesses did.
I tried to explain ice skating to her, and then decided it would be a fantastic idea to bring her ice skating when we were in FL.

So luckily- Aunt Jackie is a pretty decent skater and was willing to bring Emma on the ice. I happily stayed on the sides with Levi, cheering on the dynamic duo.

Emma lasted about 20 minutes before asking to go home. She was exhausted. And my abs were killing me from laughing hysetrically the ENTIRE time I was watching her. I was embarrassed that I couldn't stop laughing while watching my poor little 2 year old try to skate on the ice.

She had fun, and did surprisingly well! I'm hoping she enjoys it and wants to do it more, because I'm guessing it would be a great winter activity for her when she is older. I'm secretly hoping she doesn't take up skiing since it is dangerous, requires travel, and can get quite pricey with all the equipment!!! Let's all not forget the time I broke my collar bone skiing down my very first hill....

This video is her 3rd time around- the first 2 videos I took were too hard to see because I couldn't stop laughing enough to keep the camera still!
