Saturday skating.
After chatting with Maggie last week about her plans to visit NYC and skating at Rockefeller Center (I wanted to go but sadly I couldn’t), I decided to bring the kids to a nearby rink, ISCC, to give skating a try. The kids were nervous since they’ve never been on skates and I’ve only attempted to ice skate twice in my life, when I was a kid, so I was nervous as well. I made plans with my friend Michele who has taken lessons so she was a pro compared to us.
The kids fell a bunch of times but never gave up, they both just got up and continued skating. I also took my 13 yr old niece, she never fell, she held onto the wall the entire time. I didn’t fall once! Phew! I was so proud of my kids, I couldn’t get over how well they were doing for their first time ever on the ice.
We get in the car after public skate finishes and my son says “I wish I was still skating, I can’t wait to do it again, I LOVE ice-skating!” I’m so glad I decided to bring the kids to try something new, I guess I know where I’m going next weekend.
