Went ice skating tonight in Bryant Park...with our own skates!! woot! Though I have to say, the breaking in process is going to hurt. A lot. Luckily skating at Bryant Park is free if you have your own skates and its open until Jan. 15th So Rick and I can go a couple of times a week if we wanted to. Rick is really enjoying getting better at the basic tricks and whatnot. I am trying to show how but I am not a very good explainer of stuff;) On my side, I am having so much fun just being on the ice and sliding around. It brings me back to my childhood...when I was like twelve I got a pair of rollarblades for my birthday and I hardly ever took them off for the next three years. Every afternoon after school I would strap on my skates and head off for the basketball court-which was ideal for perfecting my little tricks. Hours would go by and I would just get lost in the wonderful feeling of gliding around in the fresh air. *sigh* good times!
