With Christmas almost a week away, we really are in the heart of the holidays and winter has arrived. With the chilly temps I do get a desire to enjoy some cold-weather activities, and going ice skating is something I wish I would take the time to do. The first time I ever tried ice skating was when I had just moved to North Dakota, having never really experienced a real winter before having only lived in warm states. With the new environment, my mom thought it would be fun for me to learn to ice skate, so she signed me up for a beginner course. At 11 years old I was the oldest of the bunch, everyone was about 5 years old, so I felt a bit more cool and mature than everyone. haha. Each lesson I tied up the Tara Lipinski skates that my mom bought for me and caught on pretty quickly. I am proud to say I only fell one time (maybe after getting a bit too confident). As much as I did enjoy it, I haven’t really gone skating since. I took this photo at Rockefeller Plaza, and while I don’t know if I would have the desire to skate in such a big public place, I did think it look like a lot of fun and hope to skate again sometime soon.
