Ice Skating



As an older parent I have one thing to say. I really need to get in shape. I went ice skating with my daughter the other night. After 800 milligrams of ibuprofen my lower back and feet are still soar, but it was so worth it. The Bountiful ice rink opened years ago, but has totally been remodeled. My skating skills however have not been remodeled. Like riding a bike it did come back, but the old skating muscles have not been used in ages.

The whole experience was smiles and giggles. My smile muscles are still sore too. I can't describe the wonder and delight of the experience. As we were putting the skates back and she tried to lick the ice from the blades of her skates, she whispered in my ear...Daddy, can we go skiing soon.

And I thought she looked cute in a pool. She's truly an all season cutie.

I would have loved to have seen her ice skate.
