This past weekend we were invited with one of Sydney's friends from Seika, Mila to go
ice skating! There are 3 girls Sydney, Mila and Lani who are best friends at school and also the only English speaking girls in their class. It was going to be Sydney's first time and she was really excited once I told her we were going. I waited until the day before to tell her because you know how many time kids can ask the same question! Sydney and I headed off to meet our friends at the train station. Daddy and Julia stayed home and enjoyed the day together.
Sydney and I joined in on a free lesson in the morning that of course was in Japanese but who can't just follow what the others did. Then we tried it out on the ice. She was pretty wobbly at first but after some practice and watching her friends she got the hang of it. This was definitely something that was much more fun with fiends there. If it would have been just us she would have gotten discouraged fast but with her friends there she saw they were falling also and really didn't get too frustrated. The girls all skated for a lot longer than we expected and we started heading home when the meltdowns developed. That was one other nice thing was to see several 4 year olds and know that mine was not the only one melting down!
I found this vending machine with gloves. Here in Japan they have vending machines for everything you would ever need at that location! Quite unique to us Americans!

That vending machine is incredible! And would have come in handy (ha, ha) here today. Miss Sydney looks very graceful. A natural athlete.
WOW, ice skating! Way to go Sydney, because I could never get the hang of it!! You look fantastic on the ice...a future Kristi Yamaguchi :) Much love to all of you.
What a talent! Watch out ice capades!
