Jake Skates!

There are a few outdoor skating rinks in London - this one is outside the Natural History Museum and is a beautiful setting! Jake was very excited and in his words, just a little bit scared to go skating:) His skates were called 'bob skates' which have double blades (perfect for staying upright!) and reminded me of the old roller skates we had as kids where your whole shoe fits in to the brace. After his initial disappointment at not getting blue skates like mum, he was raring to go! He will definitely need to keep practicing to keep up with his cousins in Canada:) However, if his interest in skating continues, we will definitely need to find a cheaper venue, as £13 per adult and £8 per child (for 1 hour!) is a bit steep!
