Ice Skating, January 2009. Oak Bay Rec; so many people.
|
|
Gettin' ready for the skate. Surely Renée is wishing it wasn't too late to change her mind.
|
|
Shamus seems unsure too.
|
|
|
Only one skate on, it takes two!
|
|
Kelly is fine, really. She would have preferred some training wheels but the wall didn't seem to mind.
|
|
Go Kelly go!
|
|
|
Okay, so I could have used the training wheels too. Hey, its been decades!
|
|
Shamus all cool.
|
|
Jer, stay still or I'll fall!
|
|
|
Why does the ice have to be so slippery?
|
|
LOOK MOM, NO HANDS!
|
|
Kelly still not too sure, an hour later. hehehehe
|
|
|
So we found out that skating is fun but harder than it looks.
|
|
Aw, best friends.
|
|
SHAMUS
|
|
|
Jer faking it.
|
|
It may seem that we did a lot of sitting, but this time we either had to leave the ice or collide with the zamboni. Terribly over-exposed photo, must get new camera :>
|
|
Having fun.
|
|
|
See, that wasn't so bad. You're smiling!

Long day, running out of steam.

Steph is taking a break to calculate the damage so far, only half finished shopping!

The end of our shopping at IKEA. 5 carts later, we had to ask the staff in the store to help us get to the check-outs.

|
A few thousand dollars in damage :)

|
All the big stuff was shipped, this is everything we could fit in my car.

Poor Stephie, didn't have the most comfortable ride home but at least we saved her spot!
