Skating with Clifford

KCPT, our local public television station, hosted a special "Skate with Clifford" event this morning at the Ice Terrace at Crown Center. Christopher was very excited about this event! He couldn't wait to show off his skating skills to his favorite red dog and he was also very curious to see how well Clifford skated. While we were waiting on line to get Chris his rental skates, Clifford came by and you should have seen Christopher's face. It was like he had seen a celebrity! He went right up to Clifford and gave him a high five. Here are some pics from our skating...

Chris has gotten used to the skating pusher (not sure what else to call it!) that he uses when we go to public session so I wasn't sure what he would do here without one. After awhile of holding my hand, he ventured out on his own and then didn't even want to hold my hand! It's a good thing because we signed him up for his very first "learn to play hockey" class next week at the Kansas City Ice Center. Very exciting! Anyway, here is some video of Chris skating just with Clifford!

And after the skating, we found a pizza place in our old Crossroads neighborhood that actually had some really good pizza. They called it New York Style and they were accurate in their description. We started with some garlic knots too and Chris said, "These are the best garlic knots ever!" That made the owner very happy...
