We made our first trip to the ice skating rink this season. We went out to Old Town Manassas, where they flood the pavilion and turn it into a rink. It's small and scenic and just right for kids who are learning to skate. Cassie was a little rusty, but only fell twice. She was wearing red "skinny" jeans and with her long legs, she looked like a colt. Lacey was a good sport although she spent most of her time sitting on the ice. She finally decided that she would have greater success if she kept her skates perpendicular to the wall.
I spent most of the afternoon trying to keep Lacey from hitting the ground and then trying to pull her up again. A guy about half my age flew past me and knocked me down. It seemed that he actually hooked his elbow through mine and deliberately knocked me down. But, when he returned to help me up, I thought that I was mistaken. Then he said, "Would you like me to wipe the ice off your butt?" "Yeah, ya perv." I answered! I decided that it was time for us to clear the ice and have some hot chocolate.
