Success.

Well, sort of. Today, after spending 3 hours looking at the sports stores for a roller hockey puck, we found one. As soon as we stepped out of the car, Ethan had to try it out. Even Jason agrees that it is, in fact, the best $10 we ever spent. It even warrants it's very own blog post (later).  :)

After lunch, we headed to our second home, the ice rink. We decided to take advantage of the public skate time today, to get Elliott in his skates and on the ice. He was so excited. He sat totally still while Jason laced his skates, and didn't even fight his helmet.

He walked well on the way to the ice, but once his feet slipped from under him, things went downhill. He isn't big enough yet to understand how to use gliders to help him, and the more he slipped, the madder he got. Eventually, Jason just drug him around the rink one time, and then he quit.

Ethan was a big show off though, and he wore Jason out. He had to show his dad everything he has mastered this season. The most fun and impressive is throwing snow with his stop. You can only be a true hockey player once you can do this.

Yes, he was a happy kid! It was a great way to spend the afternoon.

Ethan already has big plans to play street hockey tomorrow, and if the weather holds up, I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't spend anytime at all inside.

Hope you had a great weekend.
