Yesterday we had a family outing at The Cooler. This is an indoor ice rink not far from our house. It was cold outdoors, and colder in The Cooler! The ice was in really good shape - and had a pretty large crowd for the public session. Sarah and I were outfitted with hockey skates - Angela settled for the less agressive "figure" skates. Hitting the ice was no problem, and Sarah quickly became accustomed to the proper techniques for falling. She did well, picking up speed, stopping, avoiding other would-be kamikazes - and even participated in an on-ice rendition of the Hokie Pokie!
