What a fun day!! Love love LOVE hanging out with my girls and trying new adventures! We had a little lunch by the fireplace in the Snoopy Cafe before we tackled the rink! I really love coming to this place - it's so fun and full of energy and especially during the holidays it's decorated so beautifully, like you're surrounded by Victorian chalets!
Rea had gone skating with Daryle and I once before but she was only four and she didn't really go enough to get the hang of it. Today she and Ni'ke were both FEARLESS, which was part of our problem, and will also probably be a big part of the solution! Problem being they wanted to "do it all by myself!" and just GO, they'd take off and not wait for me and I'd find them 15 yards away doing the splits, intermittently clinging to the siderails and charging out into the middle of mayhem. (I couldn't stop myself from visualizing one of them falling and one of those fast little zippy boys on speed skates flying by and slicing off their fingers. I'm sick I know, but I'm also a mom. *sigh*)
Anyway, the SOLUTION being that they were so persistant to keep trying and WEREN'T afraid to fall, that they actually starting to get the hang of it after a short while! But boy, are our rear ends sore. Ironic how if you're sore or injured you're supposed to ice it.... Hmm.
Good times and great memories! Can't wait to take the BOYS!!!!
