It was pretty icy just getting the five blocks or so over to the the lake.
Here's the lake! (Just watch out for thin ice areas.)
They have a warming "house" and a pile of skates that people can borrow for free. Jeremy and Ian (Jeremy's brother) both had their own skates. I had to dig through the pile to find a pair that fit.
We're on the ice!
Some places had the most amazing clear ice going down some distance and all these frozen air bubbles coming up - it looked like the starry night sort of.
Here are a couple shots of Ian and I skating - I'm the one that looks like a giant sloth.
But, for my first time ever skating, I never fell down (or fell through the ice)!!
you are such a nerd, this wasn't your first time skating. Mom used to take us when we lived in Portland before we found out about the Eds. We used to hug the side of the wall and taunt each other to let go. I recall you let go first and that made me angry. You always let go first whether it was ice skating or roller skating. I recall that you liked roller skating better cause when you fell down it wasn't as cold.
ReplyDeleteblah blah. So I went ice skating a couple times when I was in grade school - I totally forgot about it. And it was in an indoor rink!
ReplyDeleteAlso, the place where we were hugging the wall, etc, that was roller skating, not ice skating.
Geez.
When do we get to see the pictures of Jeremy ice fishing?
