Today we went ice skating with Ava's school. One of her classmates father is an Olympic figure skater and so graciously offered to show us some of his moves and skate with the kids. It was so fun to see him jump and spin on the ice...quite incredible.
We met at the ice and got our skates on. He skated around us and then took Ava and held her facing forward while he skated really fast around the ice. She LOVED it! He does this with his own daughter and Ava asked if she could do this too. He gave Ava some tips on how to stand up when she falls and how to skate better. He was incredible. His instructions were so good she picked up what he said immediately and put it to use like she had been doing this forever. How incredible to have her get pointers from an Olympian.
I don't have photos because I didn't take my camera. I did skate on the ice with Avie and it was a blast. What a great opportunity.
