 Reagan was excited to have someone else there to skate with her besides mom!

Reagan gave Ginger a few skating lessons!

Reagan passed her skills test and will now be in the Basic 2 class starting in a few weeks.  She earned a badge from the skating class, and mom & dad bought her a new pair of skates of her very own  She said they already make her a better skater!
