Olivia's First Time On The Ice!!!!!!






On Saturday, Rosette went with Frank, Hilde and Edwin to the South Rim. We stayed behind since there was a big open house at the ice rink. I wanted to get Olivia signed up for her first skating lessons and get advice on getting her started. She's been waiting and waiting to turn 3 so she could start lessons. There was a guy up from Phoenix who owns a pro shop to sharpen blades, fit and give advice. I took my skates to him to ask why they are so tight and hurt so bad since I had Olivia. He said they are a whole size too small and xtra narrow, too. Apparently, in addition to my butt, my feet also got wider after delivery! Nice. I still squeezed into them to take Olivia out for the first time. Wow, what a feeling to take your little girl on the ice for the first time. The last time she skated, she was in my tummy! After a few times around, Rob wanted a turn with her and I got a bunch of pictures. She LOVED the ice and didn't want to leave. The lessons start on her birthday.
