I Skated!

I Skated!

This is for those (i.e. my mom) who needed proof that I skated last night. I did! I skated for two hours! And I didn't hate it! And I didn't fall! I improved quite a lot from being a bit scared to get on the ice to being able to go pretty fast. Then I realized that I can stop much the same as I can on skis, and things were good. And for the rest of the time, I pretended that I was on skis. It worked pretty well as skiing comes naturally to me. I didn't attempt any cross-overs (as Alison did), jumps (as the actual skaters did in the middle of the ice), or going backwards (once again as Alison did) - but I skated without falling. I had great skates though - ones that fit me! I think that was at the root of my problem most of the time. And it may have been psychological as well. But anyways, enjoy the pics!

Look!
And here it is! This was after I'd already been on the ice, but wanted to document the fact that I had skates on my feet. I got some pretty snazzy ones if I don't say so myself. Weren't even white!

My Foot + Soap Suds
So they had soap suds fall every 10 minutes or so on the ice, and some apparantly got on my skate. I took a picture.

Alison and I
And this is a picture of me on the ice.

Me, Joyce and Alison
This was after Alison and I had take off our skates and were just hanging out - enjoying the free drinks!
