On the Edges

Yippee, my new ice skates had their maiden voyage yesterday afternoon. How strange not to rent a pair of blades at the rink. I had to loosen and tighten them a couple of times but hey that's not unexpected. The padding seems more suited to my feet than the padding inside the rentals.

Kids had a good time too, skating with my friend M's two daughters. And we saw my friend E (who also happens to be our family dentist) who was there with his daughter for a birthday party. He plays hockey on ice, so he was able to give Son #2 some pointers about how to come to a stop gracefully, side to side, spewing some cool shavings. I slept pretty well last night too!
