just doin' the time warp
i hopped on a bus yesterday with forty-three of J10 and R13's youth groupies..
went to the Big Smoke and wound up at the zoo, the underwater world and..
ice skating.
and....
twenty tears later:
yeee-harrrr
i've still got it.
i can skate forwards.
i can even skate backwards (you shoulda seen R13's incredulous look as i grabbed her hands and skated her around the rink)
i can even twirl.
and after about the sixth circuit around the rink, i started getting that leg-crossing-over-motion for going around corners.
s-w-i-s-h
just like a friday-night-teenager.
it's just a jump to the left.
and a step to the r-i-i-i-g-h-t...
and i even bought myself a caramel chew for reasons of nostalgia.
but it didn't taste as frozen as it used to.

Now that is impressive. I loved rollerskating when I was younger but never ice-skated but I am so tempted as we have a frozen pond for several months out of the year... FUN!
Awesome. I love skating. I have been taking J for lessons and it is all I can do not to let him stand there while I twirl around the rink. I have to keep telling myself that I am ther for him!
Can't wait for the canal to freeze so we can skate on it and have delicious "Beavertail" pastries. I will blog about it when it happens. One of those good things about winter :)
Oooh, I love to ice skate! My daughters are learning to enjoy as well. Too bad you didn't get pictures from this! :)
oh i remember the Friday night days. gazing over the rink and seeing if there was any one spunky there...lol. 80's kids rule. Yaaay you.
I loved my rollerskates! I never did ice skate -- good for you getting your old moves back!
My 4 yo askes me, "Mommy, are you really cool?" Sounds like you can answer yes to that one :-)
My dh quotes songs from "that movie" (that's what we call it at my house) all the time. Especialy "There's a Light."
