First time on ice skates

We finally got Max and Darwyn out to an ice rink to try out the ice skates they got for xmas.  Both kids were enthusiastic and persistent and not at all discouraged by how hard it is to learn to skate.  We skated only for a short time, which was perfect for our first outing.  I suspect that Greta and I will eventually need to get ice skates of our own so we can do some real skating with the kids.
