Growing up in Ohio, I used to wait all year for it to get cold enough for our neighbor's pond to freeze over. It was so much fun to grab my skates and spend the day with my family.
Never in a million years would I believe that one day I'd live in North Carolina and be able to ice skate in the middle of summer.
Dressing everyone for winter and heading out in 90 plus degree weather, seemed a little bizarre to say the least. Especially when we ran through the grocery store and people looked at us like we were nuts.
We introduced our two younger ones to their first lesson nonetheless...and the hardest part was taking that first step onto the ice.

They worried about falling - so the best thing the instructor did, was just that. She began by teaching them how to fall and get back up.
Before we knew it, they were off and running...well...skating. They ridiculously loved it and can't wait to go again. It made me remember how much fun it was to skate the day away...and who knows? Maybe I'll even dust the old skates off and give it a whirl again.
