Ice Skating is Tricky

Been out all day. Left the house at 8:30am and just returning. Not sure why I do this to myself... Had fun though.

Took the girls ice skating this afternoon. They got skates for Christmas. Took them once two weeks ago - I was sore for two days. Glutton for punishment? Probably. We were amazed at how much they've improved. Last time they couldn't keep their feet beneath them. They relied entirely on us for support. Today, Becca skated all by herself!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (She did fall on her face and split her lip, but she was doing great before then...) I was incredibly impressed by their new found development.

As always, I'm left wondering. How are they growing up so fast?

Sidebar - We took them skating after my brother-in-law's alumni game for Suffolk's Hockey Team. There were college kids everywhere and I couldn't help but wonder when college students became so young. Probably a better question would be - When did I become a grown up?

I can't believe Becca was skating by herself! Holy crap!

Sounds like you had a great day.

Hope to see you tomorrow.

MK and I had this discussion after seeing my sister Ali and her friend Kelsey at our house. They seemed so young... MK dropped them off at a party at N. Eastern, and he said he felt like their dad. I don't think were old, but I do remember feeling so old (in a good way) as a freshman/sophmore in college.

I can't believe Becca is skating! That's awesome. Nice job capturing the moment on video. You guys are good like that.
