In Preparation for his future Hockey Career

I couldn't let one of Jack's first moments go unnoticed, and undocumented, for the sake of his Auntie Lianne:

Jackson's First Time On ICE!!!!



He was very excited in this pic because he was "doing it all by myself" - meaning with out the help of the kiddie "walker" (see next picture)



It had been quite a while since I had been on skates myself, so I have to admit I was a bit worried about the task before me: Managing to stay on my feet in order to keep my child upright (in general) and unharmed (in general)! Therefore, though it looked pretty ridiculous seeing a bunch of kids gliding around the rink with the help of what looked like old-people walking aides, I was pretty grateful for their assistance.




And Jack made it out unharmed, and anxious to go back...with a hockey stick!
