I haven't been ice skating since 8th grade when I owned the rink at polar ice. Thankfully, I was skating with a 5 year old who had never worn skates before so I got to play it cool and save my ego.
"let's hang on to the side and go really slow until you get the hang of it"
"I got it already, let's go faster"
"no no, safety first. hold my hand while I clench for life to this rail. it's for your safety!"
We had so much fun on the miniature skating rink.
It really was teeny.
but it was so much fun! skating outside, trees lit up, carolers singing, a small little coffee booth. and it was only $10 per person.
Even Santa came out to skate.
