Ice Skating with Malcolm

Today I got to go Ice Skating with Malcolm. It was a summer scout activity--the final event of the summer. I haven't been skating since High School. I actually hung onto my skates for a long time--I only gave them up after one of our moves here in California. It just didn't seem right to hang onto them and never use them. Wish I had them today, though. I would have felt that much cooler with my own skates. As it was, I was happy that I could still skate. Malcolm was pretty hesitant to go. I just had to really insist. He was great! He went around the rink 2 or 3 times, hugging the side, and didn't fall once. He had fun, although he thought it was freezing cold. He was amazed that they could keep the rink so cold when it was so hot outside. (I actually thought the rink was a little too warm for good ice!)

I think I will be sore tomorrow from the skating. I don't think I got my heart rate up too much, but I did get going pretty good and could see ice skating as a possible exercise activity. I wonder if Elise would like to join me?
