Winter break Skate Camp


You want to be good to your kids.  You want them to have fun.  Then why did my kids think I was torturing them when I enrolled them in ice skating camp over the Christmas holidays?  I thought that this would be a great way to learn to skate without going to weekly lessons.
Needless to say after 3-4 hours of skating (for three days)  Brooklyn and Reina had nothing good to say about the experience.  I told them now that they live in Canada they have to learn how to skate.  Everyone does it.

However, I did learn one lesson, "Less is more." especially at Christmas time.
