The weekend before we went to Winthrop, we took the kids to an ice rink to practice their skating skills. It was an unbelievable change of attitude. Within 5 minutes of getting on the ice both kids were in tears and Brian and I looked at each other and said "so much for ice skating in Winthrop." But we didn't let give up that easily and within 30 minutes the tears were gone and they were getting into it. Another 30 minutes later, they were laughing and having a great time. The only time the tears returned was when it was time to go because they wanted to stay even longer! It was unbelievable!
Cameron has the most unusual skating style of anyone I've ever seen. He just digs in the ice picks on the toes and runs as fast as he can. He looked the like road runner with his legs just going going going. I finally convinced him to try "skating" by adding a glide at the end of his run. So for lap after lap Cameron would run around the rink and say "run, run, run...glide."
