If there is an ice arena in the desert, the Grant's will find it! Lucky for us they opened a brand new arena about 2 miles from our house about a month ago. On my trip to Minnesota I brought Josie her favorite gift of all, her first pair of hockey skates. No daughter of Brian's would be caught dead on figure skates! She was so excited that she had to try them on the minute that we got home from the airport.
So now that the skates had been burning a whole in our closet for a whole week we decided that it was time to take Josie for her first skate. I was a little nervous as any mother would be, but Josie was confident and so excited. We got Josie all bundled up and tied up her skates and off she went. I was figuring that we might get 20 - 30 mins before She told us she was too cold or her feet hurt and she was ready to go home. Honestly, I thought that might be optimistic. Brian took her around and around the rink and after 10-15 mins they stopped to say Hi and let me get a few good pictures but all Josie would say is "I'm not done yet!" Anytime Brian would stop or slow down she would say again, I am not done yet! After an hour Brian's back was so sore from bending over to help her that he had to stop. I never thought Josie would last longer than Brian! Josie had so much fun that all she has talked about this morning is going back skating. Brian is going to have to teach her quickly to stand on her own or work on his back muscles!
Enjoy the pictures!
This is awesome. :) She is a true Grant! We'll have her out for pnd hockey on Linwood before you know it.
