I Was Not Made For Walking on Ice.

Ice Skating today with the girls (after the morning I had, I was looking forward to having some fun). I did not fall today nor did I actually skate, (I did "shuffle" though as Jenn tells me, so go me!). I clung to the walls most of the time with Annie (who couldnt skate neither), children as young as 5 were whizing past us (I felt so pathetic) and also falling constantly infront of me while I was trying to cross the ice rink with Jenn as my aid (was not helping me with the fear of falling on my backside, at all!).

Some photos from the day.

2. Putting our ice skating shoes on (Those shoes are painful!)

3. My beloved COMFY pink Chuck Taylors
4. This sign reassured me that there was absolutely nothing to worry about.

5. These were my 4th pair of Ice skating shoes. The first one was too big (there were kids heaps younger than me who wore size 5 skates, I have such tiny feet!) and the 2nd and 3rd were just plain uncomfortable. The girl sure was getting annoyed at me for exchanging them, but I PAID for a GOOD time
6. Jenn helping Annie get across the rink. I was next and I was not ready to let go of those barriers!

7. Milly coming back around the rink.

I had a fun time today,Lots of laughing, lots of shouting, lots of nearly falling, lots of love. Made me forget about the horrible morning I had. It's always great hanging with with my friends. But my legs are totally feeling the pain right now!
