Ice Skating

We took all the kids out Ice Skating and went with Sarah (a former figure skater) and John (Played Hockey in High School) Anna (can at least stay up) Justin (Surprising a good skater, shocked the hell out of me) Joseph (He tries to run literally, lifts his skates off the ice and runs, never seen it before but I think that it might someday be a Olympic event) and Me, OK basketball I can still play and at least keep up, no where near what I use to be like, but I am decent, Soccer I can still play yes I am slower but with my Girth (the rotund waist kind) once I get going I am going and I can still kick the ball where I want which surprised me the other day when I was in the Student Rec Center. Hockey I can usually at least keep up with the people my age, I mean I have a wicked slap shot, my passes are crisp, and I can still get physical, my only problem is I can not skate. Not at ALL!! Nope, Nope, Nope I hug the boards, my ankles turn in and I am worthless, Joseph's running technique made him look like Brian Boytano to my Brittney Spears at this years VMA's So when we went out I tried to be cool and say I was going to be with my daughter then realized I would crush her if I fell on her. I gave her over to John and tried to hold Anna's hand so she would hold me up, lasted as minute, which is longer than I thought that it would so I put myself in the penalty box and watched the fun Sarah getting ready
John lacing up the damn thing s that never should have been invented, Stupid skates, I KILL YOU!!! ( that's for Sarah and John)
Trying to pretend I know what I am doing I laced up Justin's skates so tight that they cut off circulation
Waiting for Scott because he was trying to stall with any excuse
Sarah laughing at me "I Kill you!!!" - Again for Sarah and John
Isn't she awesome
Come on Daddy
"I Hockey" "Abby Hockey Player"

Notice where I left Justin's lace undone Oops have to tie that up
I skate I skate, Yeah but it has to be with John because your daddy is a big loser on the ice
John is going to be such a good dad!
There she is, she is adorable I love you Anna
I skate I skate I skate



Get in here this is the penalty box I was put in here because they did not want me to show up everyone

It looks like so much fun. Gee, Scott, is Abby better than you yet?
Maybe I will even be better than you when you take us skating in August. I assume the rink is still open in August.
I really want to see Anna's moves.
Abby (and Anna, of course)look adorable on the ice.

Little Abby got on the ice how cute!!! Uncle Scott did you end up trying it? How was Halloween? I want to see pictures of Joe the pig and Justin the death eater.

Love,
Cousin Cassidy
