Suzanne & I took Brynn, Kedryn & Emily to ice skate @ Squaw on New Year’s Eve Day.
Brynn loves ice skating & is very good at it. This is only her third time on ice skates! She’s a natural!
She even met a friend, Brent, on the cable car up to the ice skating rink. Turns out Brent’s BD is January 18th and Brynn’s is January 19th. They thought that was “totally freaky” and started chatting away for the next 2 hours!! 
Emily fell asleep on the cable car ride up to the Ice Skating rink and remained asleep for almost 2 hours straight. She missed the entire ice skating session! Glad she didn’t know!

Max ready to try ice skating for the second time. First time was with Alex & Sean at Winter Lodge in Palo Alto.
Max was beyond determined to ice skate! Please check out Wallace’s Facebook video for proof.
Wallace attempts to help Max with his skating; however, he wants no part of it.
Max pushes away any help and is determined to do it on his own. I think he takes after his Daddy.
I must have seen him fall at least two dozen times (in a ROW!), but NOPE! He wanted to get up on his own and try it again and again and again and again … I am surprised his body wasn’t covered with bruises.

Emily loved ice skating!
She enjoyed every minute of it!
This is her second time ice skating

We went to Winter Lodge in Palo Alto to try a little first time ice skating with Sarah, Erik, Alex & Sean on Sunday night
Max REFUSED to try ice skating so Wallace took him out on the rink in the stroller. As a former hockey player, he was tearing around the rink … sometimes so fast that the wheels of the stroller were catching air! Max was laughing hysterically the whole time!
Emily was keen on trying ice skating so we rented a pair of ice skates for her
Sarah & Sean having fun!

After seeing Alex, Sean, Emily, Sarah, Erik, Mommy & Daddy on skates … Max decides to give it a go!

Max was running on the ice instead of sliding.
Max holding onto the side of the rink. He feel down several times, became frustrated and wanted the ice skates off ASAP.
So, back to the stroller he went … Erik & Alex pushing Max around the rink!

All and all it was a great first experience! Emily, Sean & Alex seemed to really enjoy themselves. Max … so-so, but at least he gave it a try! We’ll try again next season!
