Skating


Day 18

My friend and I had free skating coupons for our girls (her 3, my 1). We took them today. They are exhausted after three hours of circling the ring.

I wish I could still skate. What a great workout that would be! Round & round & round I'd go, pounds shedding behind me. But I can barely walk across a flat surface with shoes one much less shoes with wheels. I've never broken anything and I'd like to keep it that way. 

So my good friend and I sat, drank coffee & caught up with each other with only a few interruptions. Considering we had four girls between us ranging from 11-2 years old the interruptions weren't as many as you'd think. 

We are about the head to Bible study tonight. A great way to end a day.

  1. We used to take our students ice skating. I'll always remember the young 6th grader who offered to hold my hand as I rounded the rink a few times and got my skating legs back.
    Coffee sounds nice too though.

  3. Confession: I was an artistic roller skater as a kid. Even went to the junior olympics. I can't wait until my baby girl is old enough to strap on a pair of skates so I have an excuse to get out there again and find out whether it's like riding a bike or not. Although, having coffee and conversation with a friend while she skates sounds even better to me now! (WW Erin)

  4. My favorite line in this Slice is "Round & round & round I'd go, pounds shedding behind me." Man I wish we all could get rid of extra weight that easily. And few interruptions, with 4 girls?! That is impressive. Thanks for sharing!
