As I've mentioned before, Matt's gift to Jack for his birthday was skating lessons. So this past Saturday, Jack went for his first time to the hockey rink. It was great to have Toni and Dave here for the occassion. I think Dave has laced up some skates in his time. :) Anyway, it was fun to watch the little ones on the ice for the first time. I don't know if it's clicked with Jack yet. The good news is that he said he wanted to go back next week. By the way, the picture quality is pretty poor on these shots but at least you get the idea!
Walking into Nichols, which incidentally is a gorgeous school. What other highschool has its own hockey rinks (yes plural)?
Wonder how many hours have been spent lacing up skates?
Making his way to the ice
Oops had to tighten again
My favorite picture of the day. The instructors deposited the kids along the boards and they were all clutching them for dear life.
First of MANY spills
Not really sure what to make of this

Oh my goodness. I can't believe how well Jack did! I have a very good feeling that if we tried to get Attie on the ice he would have be sitting on his butt in the middle of the rink screaming his head off. Jack looks cut out for this! Must be in the genes. Especially love the shot of the boys gripping the edge. You should have titled this post "Jack Gretsky Archer!"
Love it!
Yeah, you know maybe you did some clever photo selection, but I see no evidence of crying in these! I cry at the ice rink and I'm a grown-up. I also cannot skate very well. Hooray Jack! Enjoy the ice, and please keep all your teeth!
