Hockey (Gear)!

The boys are in their second term of hockey skating lessons and we finally broke down and bought them equipment. They don’t even need it — these are hockey skating lessons only, no sticks or pucks — but almost all of the other kids have the gear so we decided to join the ranks. They seem to love the skating and are anxious to work their way into “rookie camp” so it seemed like a safe, albeit expensive, thing to do. Of course, secretly (or not so secretly) I love that they are playing and I love seeing them in that gear! Here are a few pictures from their first day on the ice.

Henry, who’s an old pro, helped Finn with his helmet.

And here are the three of them before the lesson started.

I only got a couple of shots of them on the ice.

After the lesson that day, we rode several miles in our third Bike Palo Alto event, and then when we got home Finn immediately wanted to put hisĀ gear on again. He was pretty pooped though …
