Ice Skating

It appears that my daughter surpasses my natural athletic ability when it comes to ice skating. Yes that is a joke since at one time I was into sports but now dont do anything at all and I am a terrible ice skater, just dont have the balance. Today we went to Mariyah's b-day party at the dublin ice skating rink and amber was a skating animal. It took us awhile our first time around the rink but by the end she was already letting go of the wall and able to balance on her own. The 2nd time we got going a bit faster but were still pretty slow. Then the third we tried to do 4 of us in a row which didnt work out so well. Alyssa was doing some crazy leg skating lol. So we separated back to me and amber, Monica and Alyssa. And the race was on since Alyssa was determined to beat amber every time around. By this time Amber is practically dragging me around the ice. Her balance is much better than mine lol. I finally had to let go of her hand so I could hold the wall. By the last time around I was doing a bit better. Actually able to skate without holding onto the wall. Amber though was really good for her first time. Now she is already asking for me or her dad to take her again. She has already told me that when her dad takes her she is going to make him fall on his butt. She didnt want me to fall while we were skating but I guess its different with him lol. I can already hear her asking to have a b-day party there at some point.

It's sad when your daughter can skate faster than you ;o) J/K!! I posted pics on my blog! I am just glad I didn't fall on my butt!!! You didn't either actually. We should be proud of ourselves!
Amber did great on the ice though!!
