How We Spend Our Saturday Mornings

Almost every Saturday morning since September, we've headed to the Centennial Sportsplex for Parker's group ice skating lesson. The first half-hour is a lesson, and the second half-hour is a free skate, when parents can join in. I love this place. It's somewhere we wouldn't normally think of going, and it's great exercise for the wintertime. The Sportsplex is a hub of activity, with hockey leagues practicing and playing on one rink, and lessons taking place with kids of all ages on the other. Parker's friend Connor is taking lessons, too, which makes it even better.
This might turn into hockey someday, or maybe just something fun he likes to do. Right now, it gives us an active way to spend the morning together no matter what the weather is like.

Here's Parker (left) and Connor with the teacher.
