A Trip to the Ice Rink

We have been involved in a 

Parent Partnership Program 

this year, which is an

Enrichment School 

for Homeschool Students,

but is part of the local public school districts.

We go to school about 5 hours per week,

and our kids take science, cooking, music, etc...

Last week, we had an 

"Activities Week",

as a break between semesters.

On Tuesday, the younger kids participated

in a 3 hour Cooking Class on

How to Make Authentic Tamales.

And, on Wednesday, about 50 students and parents

from our school went to the Ice Rink in The City.

Our younger 4 kids have never Ice Skated before,

and Ben & Hosanna have only done it once or twice.

The school paid for 1 parent from each family

to skate, as well.  So, Papa decided to skate,

so that I could be the "Team Photographer".

Here are Papa & Ben, enjoying a visit 

as they cruise the rink.

Hosanna & Sarah are getting the hang of it.

Josiah was a quick learner, and confident enough

in himself that he offered to help a friend's little boy.

Josiah & Elijah are both wonderful helpers with little ones.

Here are Josiah & Sarah, coming around the rink again.

Josiah & Little Daniel.  Aren't they CUTE?

Rachel had a very difficult time learning to skate,

so Hosanna (on the right) and some friends 

are helping her, here.

Elijah is quite the little Natural Athlete,

so he was speeding around the rink within minutes.

They all had a GREAT time at the Ice Rink,

and are hoping to go again soon.
