Once a month we get together with Mammy and Jeff for game night. This month Mammy was in charge and decided we should all go ice skating. Megan had been one other time and this was the first for Tyler and Emily. Just getting the skates on was an ordeal.
Emily wasn't quite sure about the whole slick thing.
Tyler started off in hockey skates, but we soon realized he needed the toe pick of figure skates to keep from going backwards. He had a rough start, but the new skates did wonders.
Megan hit the ice like a pro. Her legs must be strong from tumbling, because she had no problem going around the rink.
Emily spent a lot of time worried she would fall. She cried a few times, but kept on sliding.
Tyler got the hang of it pretty quickly and took off like a maniac around the rink. He didn't mind falling and I think he actually liked when he fell. 
Emily did venture out from the wall on occasion.
I love this picture. Emily fell right as I was taking this and then had a melt down. Tyler said she was so embarrassing. The rink closed at 8:00 and Tyler and Megan could have gone longer. Who would have guessed ice skating would be a huge hit? The best part for Emily was the hot chocolate and scones at Mammy's after.
