Early Birthday Present

Well, I couldn't wait. We got Isaac ice skates for is birthday (that isn't until the end of the week) But, I couldn't wait. My excuse was that he had NutCracker practice on Saturday morning and I wanted him to have the chance to skate in them a few times before the show that is on Sunday the 13th.

I looked quite a bit on the internet for a good deal. I found them on hockeydeals.com. He got a pair of Bauer Vapor VI's. All the guys at the ice rink say that the Vapors are great skates. I hope they work out for him. They came into my office on Thursday when I was out of town and I dropped them off to get sharpened at the ProShop on my way home from work on Friday. Saturday when we went to skate they were sharp and ready to go. Isaac was jumping up and down yelling "Yes... Yes... Yes..." He was pretty excited. Here they are on the ice. I know ya can't tell, but he can. These will form to his feet.

Isaac invited his friend David to go skating. We have to force David into skates, we had to force him on to the ice, we had to force him away from the wall. In the end, he had fun and said that he wanted to go again some time. Isaac was a good, patient coach.

Here is a picture of the three skaters.
