Ice skating with friends

I had bought a groupon for the ice skate rink in Mira Mesa over a year ago and sadly, it was getting close to expiring so Tatum and I talked to some friends, and hit the rink!  The last time I went ice skating, I had taken both Tatum and Ty.  Tatum spent the whole time gripping the wall and I was bent over with Ty between my legs, his feet going every which way besides straight.  After about a half hour of that, both Ty and I called it quits while Tatum pushed on.  But it really couldn't be called a true ice skating experience by any means.  So this time, just Tatum and I went together and she did awesome!

She held my hand for a few minutes but after that, she was on her own and going strong!  No wall holding this time, and when I'd ask if she needed help, she refused and wanted to do it all on her own.  With such style too!

 

We met up with Ellie, Kaitlin and Novi.  They all had a blast!

Novi takes ice skating lessons and is so good!  We loved watching her do turns and tricks, so amazing.

Such wonderful friends and a wonderful day!
