New York City. Rockefeller Center. Late '80s. That was the last time I went ice skating - until yesterday! Kyle had a cub scout outing yesterday so David and I joined in the fun. And it was fun. Of course by last night it hurt to get up, it hurt to walk, and I woke up several times during the night with my legs aching. But, we'll go again. Plus, Kyle was such a trooper. It was his first time so he fell down a lot, but he didn't give up and was having a great time. I think we'll sign him up for lessons since some of the moms were saying that the skating rink was a favorite place to have birthday parties for the older kids...he would definitely have a better time if he has some basic skills under his belt. Heck, I'm even considering lessons - I figure it's good exercise and something we can all do together in the middle of the H O T Georgia summer! Sorry there are no pictures - didn't want to chance falling and breaking the camera! (But just for the record, I didn't fall once!)

Good work on re-learning to ice skate AND the pinewood derby! Sounds like you had fun!
Congratulations to Kyle!!
All those years in NY and I never skated at Rockefeller center!
Congrats to Kyle and good luck with the sore legs. hah!
Yay Kyle!! For ice skating for the first time and his derby success!
Our mother (my sister, Julie's, and mine) bought a pair of ice skates at a garage sale when I was probably a pre-teen. I've only been ice skating twice in my life, both times wearing those skates, and I couldn't figure out why my right foot was uncomfortable each time.
Turns out...they were two left skates. :)
Talk about having two left feet on the ice!
You have reminded me how fun (and sore/painful!) that all was. Thanks!
