Ice Skating In The Sunny South

Friday we took the kids ice staking.  It was 60 plus degrees.  Not your typical ice skating weather.  And the ice was synthetic, made out of plastic.  Crazy!  Only the big girls skated.   Boop forgot his socks and it looked like a little much for EG.

The big girls had fun though.  They roller skate a little bit so they thought it would be like that.  But, it really isn't.  It took them awhile to get the hang of it.  And, boy, was it fun to watch!

At one point, Little Mama was cruising across the "ice" so fast and she kind of trip and fell.  But, I guess because she was going so fast, she flew across the carpeted part and almost went head long into the fence.  It wasn't really funny at the moment.  But, when she got up she was smiling and I started to laugh.

Towards the end, Nature Girl was crossing the "ice" pretty fast with her head down.  There were two boys coming at her from the side.  By the time she noticed, they were about ready to crash.  She did a stunt roll with one shoulder down to avoid the accident.  Again, at that particular moment it wasn't laugh out loud funny.  But, when I saw she was OK I had to laugh.





It wasn't quite the same experience I had has a child.  But, I suppose it is the best that is going to happen down here in the sunny south . . .
