Skating with Giorgia

.
.
A fun night of skating was organized at the rink to celebrate the end of season - for its athletes, their parents, and staff. Barbara had told me she's be bringing her daughter Giorgia on the ice tonight, and sinc eI was going to take photos anyway... I just had one more subject!! It seems that the beginning was slow...
.
where is everyone??
Italy is playing in the football world cup... the bar has a tv...
.
a family portrait
.
With such great teachers, she'll learn in no time!
.
the grandparents are proud and filming!
.
reaching for mum...
.
grandpa Paolo is saying: "be careful on the ice, Barbara"... "Yes dad, I've skated before..."
three generations of women
look at how tiny
those skates are!
.
Giorgia loves his dad...
.
she's laughing and asking "go faster, go faster"!
.

I even made a small video ... just a souvenir! And now the question is: since she likes the ice so much (it was quite a struggle to get her out of the rink!she started crying any time they tried!!)... will she prefer short track like her dad, or figure skating like her mom?
