Ice Skating

My cousins, sister  and me skating
Mrs. Yollis did a post on ice skating which gave us an idea to go ice skating. Mrs Yollis looked like she was having so much fun that I asked my Mom to take me ice skating too. My cousins, my sister, and my mom all went to ice skate. We put on our ski suit to keep us warm and so when we fell it wouldn't hurt. It was an indoor ice rink and it was freezing inside.

After I got my skates on,  I tried the ice and it was very slippery and made me feel like I was going to fall. Once I did my first lap around the rink, I started to get used to the ice and even tried to do some tricks. There were two girls in the middle of the rink doing some really cool tricks, like jumps and turns that I tried  to copy but I couldn't really do it. I think they take ice skating classes. Then I tried some tricks like spins and split jumps and sometimes I did it, but I fell most of the time. Lucky I had my ski pants on so it didn't hurt to fall. The thing I really wanted to learn was to skate backwards but I was not able to do it. Maybe next time.

My favorite part was skating with my mom holding up my leg. When we were getting ready to go home, I asked my mom if we could come again next week, because I really liked it there.

Have you ever gone ice skating? 

Was it fun?

  1. Dear Sarah,

    It was a lot of fun going ice skating with you! Although it was very hard for me to ice skate and that you are much better I still enjoyed it. I can't do the wonderful tricks that you can. Maybe next time you can teach me how to do them too.

    Love,
    Miriam

    1. Dear Miriam,

      Thank you so much for taking the time and leaving me a lovely comment! Maybe next time we go ice skating, I can teach you how to hold your leg up! I have some questions for you:

      Do you want to go ice skating again?

      What was your favorite trick that you did?

      Which do you like better, ice skating or skiing? I hope you continue to leave me some comments!

      I love you very much!

      Sincerely your sister,
      Sarah

  2. Dear Sharah,

    I really enjoyed your post about your day trip to the ice skating ring.
    Your photos which you have included in your post are great and it appears everyone had an awesome time. I really love the photo of you and your mum.

    I have been ice skating a very long time ago and I have to admit I was not very good as I did manage to fall down a great deal.
    However I did meet some rather nice girls who helped me to master the art of ice skating. For they held my hand and helped me skate but I have not been back.

    My husband is a good skater and feel Bianca would be too. Will have to make it point of taking Bianca to an ice skating ring one day.


    From your pal,

    1. Dear AA,

      Thank you for leaving me a lovely comment! I also fell many times forward onto the ice from doing tricks. The next day I had bruises all over my body! They hurt a lot. I like to watch ice skating on television. I am amazed at how easy they make it look.


      Sincerely,
      Sarah

  3. Dear Sarah,
    I enjoyed reading your blog post about when you went Ice Skating.

    I have been Roller Skating before but not Ice Skating. I think my cousin has been Ice Skating with her friends. When I went Roller Skating I kept falling over which annoyed me.

    Have you ever been Roller Skating before?

    If you have not been Roller Skating maybe you could give it a try. It is not as cold when you go Roller Skating.

    Like AA mentioned I really like the photos of you and your family Ice Skating.

    From your pal,
    Bianca.

    PS Mum said to say sorry for spelling your name incorrectly

    1. Dear Bianca,

      I really enjoyed reading your lovely comment! I have been roller skating many times and I am pretty good at it! When I was still learning I also fell a lot! My little sister Hannah is learning how to roller blade and she really likes it.

      Do you want to go ice skating? Is there an ice skating rink near your house?

      From your pal,
      Sarah

    2. @ Sarah,

      Thank you for writing back to me with your wonderful comment. That is so cool that your sister Hannah is learning how to roller blade. How is she going so far?

      Yes I would love to go ice skating one day. The closest ice skating ring for me is in Melbourne. We used to have one here a long time ago but it closed down which is a bit sad.

      From your pal,

      Bianca.

      ps thank you for the gifts that you and your mum sent me I love them ALL!

    3. Dear Bianca,

      Thank you for commenting back to me. It is fun to have a conversation with you. It is too bad that you don't have an ice rink near your home.

      The ice rink is about a 45 minutes drive from our house and so we don't go very often either.

      Hannah is doing ok, she still falls a lot and doesn't go very fast. I would like to learn how to roller blade backwards and to turn.

      I am glad you liked our package.

      Sarah

  4. Wow Sarah,
    What a great family fun time y'all had at the rink! I took my three girls to the Rockefeller rink in Manhattan a few times and skated right below the huge Christmas tree. We lived in New Jersey so it was easy to pop into town for a day of fun. It was even colder on the ice than up at street level if you can imagine. We had a good time and the view was spectacular! Now we live in Alabama with no rinks. This summer I plan to learn to water ski, yikes!

    I do hope you continue to ice skate and land that perfect jump and spin. Bundle up!

    1. Dear Laura,

      Thank you for leaving me a lovely comment! I have some questions for you:

      In Alabama is it cold or is it hot?

      When you went ice skating did you fall a couple times?

      What was your favorite trick that you did?

      Do your girls want to take ice skating lessons? I hope you continue to leave me some lovely comments!

      Sincerely,
      Sarah

  5. Dear Sarah,

    I like that you described what the ice rink was like in your post. It looks like you had a lot of fun! I think it is neat that you got the idea to go ice skating from Mrs. Yollis! I love that you included captions with your photographs.

    I like to ice skate, too. But, it has been a long time since i have done it. Have you ever skate boarded? I have and it is fun. I think if you like ice skating, that you would like skate boarding too.If you try it, let me know if you like it!

    I can't wait to read your next post!

    Sincerely,

    Lauren

    1. Dear Lauren,

      Thank you for leaving a lovely comment! Ice skating was a lot of fun and I can't wait to go again.

      I have never skate boarded, but my little brother likes to go and he is pretty good. I go rollerblading a lot. In fact, I just went today at the beach with my sister, mom and grandma.

      Do you know how to rollerblade?

  6. Dear Sarah,
    I’m glad you had a lot of fun ice skating with your sister, cousins and mom. You look very good on the ice, especially with your mom.
    When I was young, I loved to go ice skating with my friends. It was always at winter time when the temperature was below 0 (Celsius), because the ice ring was the area in the park. The park workers would flood the area with water and let it freeze. It was always crowded, but we did not mined because like you we had a lot of fun.
    Keep up the good work with your blog.
    Best,
    Great-aunt Olga
