Lesson 1

Earlier this year Drew made the decision that he wanted to give playing hockey a chance, and since Tara & I both enjoy the sport (watching it, anyway) we figured "why not?" After taking him to watch our friends sons, Thomas and Andrew, play he was still interested, so we signed him up. On Sunday, March 14th, he had his first lesson. He first needs to learn how to skate, so his first session will be spent on the basics. Today it was learning how to get back up after falling down.

Drew's First Skating Lesson
	Drew was attempting to get up from the ice on his own.
	Although a majority of the class was spent learning how to stand up after falling, Drew did manage to fit some actual "skating" in as well.
	It seemed like all of the boys wearing yellow fell down at the same time. Here Drew and another boy are working on standing up.
	Drew on his feet!
	Standing up!
	Down once again.
	Drew liked to utilize the wall whenever possible - both for getting up and moving along the ice.
