Ice Skating

Call EMS??

Well, we had a good Thanksgiving. Around noon, we ate at my inlaw's house, then for supper we ate at my mother's house. All in all, it was a pretty good day. (My husband scored 2 touchdowns for the mens' football game..)

Tonight we're planning on bringing the boys ice skating at an outdoor rink that's about 1.5 hours away, in Galveston. There's something going on at Moody Gardens called "The Parade of Lights". It's a path that you can walk that's filled with lighted Christmas scenes, activities and crafts. Then, at the end of the path, there's the outdoor ice rink where you can publicly humiliate yourself.

I have not ice skated in about 10 years. In 10 years, I have gained a bit of "baby fat". We might need to call EMS by the time I'm done. Extra poundage along with decreased agility may make for a hazardous situation. We shall see. I am sure that my children will pick up on it fairly quickly. They weigh much less than their momma, and their center of gravity is much closer to the ground...Lucky kids.

I'll let everyone know how it goes. Even though the potential for a few bumps and bruises exists, I still love this time of the year!
