Going Skating

It's been another frigid, winter weekend, even though it's almost halfway into April. The bird bath was frozen solid, so I thought
​it was the perfect time to finally let some of my kids try out the skates I bought them before Christmas. But who to choose?  
Coco, Erzulie and Nyssa were already dressed in their warm winter wear, so they ended up being the ones to go skating.....
Picture
The 'rink' was a nice small circle, with an elephant statue in the middle for them to hold onto....
but Nyssa, who had never skated before, just couldn't stand in her skates.....

Erzulie was still tying up her skates.

 "Just wait a minute. There's another chair over there. Try holding onto that"

The chair helped a lot, and Nyssa was able to 'skate' around the rink....

Whooops!!   It's difficult enough trying to stand on skates for the very first time, and even more so when
​ they are hockey skates without the toe-picks. Nysaa was having a very hard time, even with a chair....
Picture
The others rushed over to help....

"Here, why don't you take a break, and just sit on the chair for a bit, and I'll push you around.."
