Skating....on ice



Today Faith and I sent Champ to a friend's house and took the opportunity to go ice skating together. Although the boots were hard and uncomfortable it was our first experience ice skating. I only fell once however Faith fell more times than that. She took it like a champ though getting right back up and moving forward. The skating area had these "ice walkers" made out of pvc piping that Faith could hold onto and not worry about falling. Talk about a great idea. She didn't take to that too long as she decided she was ready to let go and go on her own. She first took to the railing and then ventured off into the skating lane with the rest of us. I tried to hold her hand but most of the time she wanted nothing of the sort. Moving back to the north has be wanting to embrace the cold weather and take up winter sports. Today was a fun day and I look forward to many other days of ice skating this winter season. Just wish that we had more comfortable padded boots to wear. Maybe next year.
