sir skates a lot - part 2

Here are more skating lesson pix for your viewing pleasure. Complete with pithy commentary.

Ms. Lisa tells the boys why they have to work on staying upright before they can attempt triple salchows or vicious body hits...you know, whichever.

Kenny does his impression of a deer on skates in headlights. Pretty impressive.

One of the tricks employed to get the boys to practice skating backwards is to have them "fish" for things. They reel them in while moving away from their catch. Kenny has a preference for shark fishing. He's a big game hunter of frozen fish. Which may explain why he loves Aisle 12 at the grocery store.

The boys work on following the train tracks through cones. Now, in the real world, conductors are totally fired for driving like this and causing derailments. I'm just sayin'.

Kenny searches for treasure underneath the cones.

Lost in thought? Or just psyching himself up for a 14 barrel jump? Probably the former.

Ms. Lisa carved a pretty impressive snow man in the ice.

"Now, when you make the first incision, it's REALLY important to be sure that the anesthesia is working."

On a fun side note, during the lesson last Saturday, the boys finally figured out that they could head butt each other without consequence due to the hockey helmets. I was too busy laughing to get a picture or video, and I didn't want to be the irresponsible parent who encouraged them to give it another go. Oh well.
