skating on VERY thin ice, a tale of flips & slips

On Friday it was Auntie SJ's birthday, there's been lots of those lately, and everyone went skating, ice skating. Everyone except me that is, I stayed at home with Hannah my favourite babysitter. When Poss and Tiger finally dragged Mummy and Daddy home they told me all the stories.


It took Poss and Tiger a little while to get the whole standing upright thing, but in the end they did. Tiger finally let go of the barrier after 'practising' for an hour and a half. He slipped over lots and lots but in the end he was able to skate, slowly, but he did it! I am so proud of my big bro, i hope i am as cool as him when i get big...


Poss didn't like it as much as the others, she came home with a very sore bottom. I don't think she felt quite as silly as mum though. She was showing off and fell over and hurt her elbow and wrist and ended have to have her arm in a sling for nearly two weeks. She was skating backwards taking a photo of a couple of Auntie SJ's friends when she slipped. It was a really cool photo though!! Dad did a great job of taking care of mum though.
