Ice Skating

One afternoon during Bible Conference, the church group went Ice Skating in Daytona Beach. This was my first time. It was also the first time on ice skates for my dad and my brothers. My mom has ice skated before, but she stayed off the ice since she had recent surgery.

Mom said that I was all smiles.
I enjoyed ice skating.
Well, maybe not the 2 falls I made to the ice,
but overall, I enjoyed it.
Ah, here is my ice embellished jumper.
Todd and my dad are behind me.

Mom caught my dad's only spill on the ice.
He wasn't hurt. We all agree the ice is hard when you fall.


Dad was up and skating again.


One of the young girls from church skating.

Dad concentrating.
He grew up in Indiana, but had never been ice skating.
Mom talked him into trying it.
He said it wasn't as bad as he thought it would be.
And he didn't break any bones. :)

I am still smiling


Still smiling


and still smiling

My brother, Todd, was not overly thrilled about
ice skating. Mom told him he needed to try it at least once.
And this was his opportunity.
He was smiling, too!
It wasn't nearly as bad as he thought it would be.
Maybe that had something to do with the lady offering him
HOCKEY STYLE SKATES
instead of the
"FIGURE SKATES"???

Bear needed his sister's help to get his skates on.
There are not any pics of Bear skating.
He didn't enjoy at all.
After making it half way around the rink,
he opted to watch.
I don't know if the boys will skate again,
but I would skate again....and hopefully not fall.
