Slippery When Wet!

Well, during our down time this past Christmas we went ice skating. Yes, very slippery when wet! Sad thing is after we got laced up and walked on CARPET I could not even do that! Now I have been ice skating before (as a teenager- not SOO long ago)and it was a piece of cake. Not so now. I think my foot must have been laced up a little of balance as that is the ONLY reason I can think of that it kept turning in when I was walking on carpet. So as I see my 6 year old Sophia hop up and take off at a fast walk I thought Oh how wonderful to be that care free.. Her thought is if she falls she will get up and try again. Well , for me I did fall (no there are no pictures of that thank goodness)! It took one time for me to bust my knee and I was off the ice for good! Here are the pictures of the girls. Michaela did okay hugging the wall all the way around. She did with the help of Crystal and a very helpful Clay get off the walk and skate around in the middle..But the picture is of Michaela huging the wall. Next is Sophia (I think she could be an ice skater in her next life!) We had a great time and sending out a thank you to our neighbor and friend for inviting us to hang out for the day!

That is great- we went ice skating with young men and young woment last night- no I didn't skate for some reason! If I had like 5 pillows duct taped to me I would have! You're such a good sport!

Maybe Sophia could be an ice skater in this lifetime! I had 2 highschool friends that did it competitively all through their school age years.
