For sometime now, Mason has had a life plan, which goes a little something like this: "When I am 18, I am going to play for the Gophers, then, I am going to play for the Canadians," which later turned into the Washington Capitals. Mason is missing one big step to becoming a future hockey player...skating.
So we signed Mason up for group skating lessons through Farmington Park and Rec. We had tried skating the previous year on our own and got a lot of "it is too hard." We banked on him being more willing to try with a group of his peers. We were wrong. Unfortunately, Mason was the only one in the group who couldn't skate, so he was kind of left behind and very discouraged. So after only a couple of lessons, we gave up on this format, but will continue working with him on our own. It is sad to have quit something he is so passionate about, but we know he will get the hang of it eventually, it is Mason after all.
