skate skiing

This year we rented lilja some skate skis. We wanted to make sure they were small enough and see how she did the next step up. Well she did great !! I am realizing more and more that this little 6 year old has some big determination . She never gave up eventhough it was a lot harder suddenly with poles and longer skis and skating instead of shuffling back and forth . But she wanted to "make her own tracks like momma" and do it by herself to the top .well, we had to help her a little bit but when we got to the end, she let go and finished strong and by herself .. so excited to go again tomorrow. We will probably have to buy them now .
