Taylor decided about two months ago that he really wanted to go ice skating and last week we finally made it happen. Turns out you can ice skate for $2 on Tuesday mornings and we conveniently don't have classes then. We bundled up and made our way to the ice arena and as soon as my skates touched the ice I realized that I had no idea how to ice skate. I can count the number of times I have put on ice skates on one hand and it sure showed. To add to the shame, I was getting lapped by one of the senior citizens on the ice.
Taylor did great though, he was a natural. I on the other hand tend to imagine all the possible ways I could hurt myself and paralyze myself with fear.
After about 30 minutes of coaxing Taylor got me to let go of the wall and his hand and move my feet. I caught on a bit and was able to do entire laps without grasping onto the wall in terror but I sure have a lot of practicing to do before I can skate like a true Minnesotan.
