Skating

Esther and Eli have been taking lessons on how to figure skate, calling themselves Team Spiral Edge.  On the 24th, Eli made David and I go to the open skate time with him so he could practice because Esther was in Vermont. 

I cannot ice skate.  I didn't think that I would be able to, but I didn't think that I would be that bad at it.  The worst was the little kids (all under 10 or so) who would skate around, making it look so easy.  Wanted to punch them all in the face.  Those were a very long two hours.  It made Eli very happy to go skating with us (and to be better at something than his older brothers), so it was worth it.

For the record, I only fell down seven times.  Not so bad, right?  David, being naturally a little more graceful and a complete jerk, did not fall down at all.
