Ice Skating

On Saturday Ruth, Jared, Chuck and I went ice skating at the Olympic Oval. It was the first time for the kids. Jared had already learned to roller blade this fall so he took to ice skating quickly. Ruth struggled but kept with it and by the end was skating on her own. While we were there we also watched some hockey, and we watched Olympian Derek Parra teach a short track speed skating class. Both were fun to watch.
