By the next day, the sun was back out and Laura was making her way up and down the shoveled rink.
And then Shane reenacted his jump from the previous day getting some serious air under him as he landed firmly on the other side.
And here he is being what Seth calls the “zamboni man”.
And here’s proof that even I can still skate after all these years and staying inside with the babies. Well, actually this is only proof that I can stand upright without falling over. You’ll have to take my word for it that I actually skated around without falling down. Laura wanted to know why my skates looked different than everyone else’s. I told her they were figuring skating skates. She spent the rest of the time calling them “figure-eight” skates. It was good to get out there and take some strides, even though I’m very rusty and can’t even do a cross-over, somehow they still gave me Canadian citizenship last year; good thing the test didn’t include skating!
