one of the things i loved to do as a young girl was skate.
i got my first pair at 12. and then each year my dad would take us to this very unique place--kind of a junk salesman guy ---he sold EVERYTHING. And one of the things he 'specialized' in was trading ice skates and selling used ice skates. he also sharpened our blades....
when my children were little....i would take them skating.
by then i had forgotten what i knew. it wasn't quite like riding a bike, and there was much i had forgotten-
but not the fun. you're right. it was great fun!
Great pictures Skald, I dont know why I didn't see this earlier. Yes the pictures do talk and it doesn't seem like they are talking from the past either.
When I was young, I got skates, but there were only puddles to skate on. We never left our mountain to skate haha, but skated on those stupid puddles. I never really learned.
Oh I bet the boys let you glide along with them haha............
