New Lens

I know I know...more ice skating photos. We are taking lessons on Saturday morning outside so I thought it would be a perfect time to try out my new lens. It's a huge zoom so I can get her in action from across the rink. The only problem is when she gets too close to me. As you can see from the photos, this weeks lesson was focusing on arms out. This encourages the kids to glide more instead of walk on their skates.

For some reason....I like this photo!

Skating With Clark

We had a very busy OSU weekend. It started with the family skate on Saturday night. All the OSU Hockey team members were out to skate with their families at Progressive Field. It was a kickoff to the big OSU / Michigan game.

Breea, Dawson and I got out there and skated with Clark. I think he had a great time watching us scoot around on a real hockey rink!

Dawson is just started to get the idea of gliding.....she started out kind of walking but now, I can see a glide developing.

In this picture, Clark was trying to chase her and she was getting mad because she couldn't run from him! It was just too slippery for her to go fast!

Sunday night was the big game. As always, the OSU band impressed the crowd of 25,000 by performing the infamous script OHIO on ice. Yes, they are wearing shoes!!!

And a quick video of some skating in action!

Dare to Dream

Dare to Dream is the newest Disney on Ice show. When the flyer came in the summer, I knew this would be the show for my girl who loves anything Disney! We were joined by Mayna, Grace and both of their moms! I have to say, this was by far the best ice show I have ever seen! The costumes, props and story lines were amazing! Great job DISNEY...once again!!

There were sightings of all of the princesses throughout the show. Our favorite was Ariel!

It was hard to get any pictures because it was dark and Dawson was right next to me. She was waving to Minnie Mouse.

One of my favorites, Tangled. They did an amazing job swinging from ropes to portray the story. It was very much like Cirque Du Soleil on ice!

And of course the show must end with Cinderella and Prince Charming!

When we got home, we carefully decorated our Princess Crown.

Then giggled and laughed and rolled on the ground! Only my princess would be so silly!
