After my shoot yesterday, we brought the kids down to Nathan Phillips Square to check out all the Olympic festivities and also to take Ethan skating for the first time.
I bought a pair of ‘bob’ skates for him on Friday and picked up a helmet before we headed downtown. Watching him get all dressed up was really special. I’ve always dreamt of this day and as much of a hassle it was to lug around my gear, I just had to document his first time on skates.
Jeanette took him onto the ice because I don’t have a pair of skates, so I just observed. Seeing the smile on his face was priceless.
They were making their rounds at a snails pace. Apparently, this was due to a lot of ‘fake’ falling haha.
What better tunes to skate around to than our very own Barenaked Ladies !
Brandon was just chillin’ out with daddy. Literally. He’s so adorable. Every time Ethan went by, he’d point and say “brother” in Cantonese.
Ethan really got a kick out of this skating thing and I hope he continues with it. I can’t wait until he graduates to real skates and maybe pick up a hockey stick while he’s at it.
I hope everyone is enjoying the amazing weather this weekend ! It was an awesome day to get out.
