Skates

With my new found "freedom" yesterday I decided my one outing would be to go see Grant skate for the first time. We got him a pair of hockey skates for Christmas and knew he'd want to put them on as soon as he opened them. So we let him open his present early and headed straight to the ice rink. He was so excited. In fact, as we were getting ready to get in the car he kept saying "I'm so excited, Daddy! I'm so excited, Mommy!" We were thrilled that the hockey skates were as big of a hit as we thought they'd be. :)
Couldn't get Grant to take his eyes off of his new skates even for a brief picture!




At the rink, Gip helped Grant into his skates....



And Daddy tightened them up real good....
Grant needed a little help at first to walk in his skates but by the end he could walk by himself.



And a little video of skating with Daddy. Poor Daddy....he may need a some IBprofen for that back later on today! My boys sure did have fun though and I was very grateful to be able to be there for it. Priceless.

It is early in the morning but I had to get on to your blog to see if anything had happened during the night. I loved the pictures of Grant on skates with Jason. Thanks.

Those little legs are moving a mile a minute! Too funny! I especially love the conversation while you're videoing-- I feel like I'm right there chatting with you and your parents! (And I think it's hysterical that Gigi has UGGS!)

So glad you got to have this outing!
