If God had intended us to move around on blades, He'd have given us ice skates instead of toes...
Still, some crazy folks insist on renting a pair and risking their necks on the ice. Last night, we were numbered amongst them at Savannah's SkateFest.
The kids thought they were going to go out on the ice and instantly be doing figure eights, hockey slides, etc... they were humbled, needless to say.
I have never been a big skater- ice or wheels. I prefer a little more control than those methods of travel which involve free gliding...nor have I ever really liked the idea of going endlessly in circles...WITH THE CROWD... Still, it was fun to watch the kids give ice skating a go. They had a blast and were saddened when the session came to an end. They were asking to go again first thing this morning.... uh, oh...looks like we've started something.
