For the holidays, an outdoor mall near our house erected a small ice skating rink, however, the rink consisted of large sheets of plastic instead of ice. Despite the lack of ice, my girls still thought it was pretty cool.

I had no idea that you could ice skate on plastic! Either way I would be falling on my butt for sure. For some reason I could never get ice skating down. It looks like you guys are great at it

Plastic! LOL! Now it makes sense… I saw something posted on FB about a plastic icerink… I didn’t realize you can SKATE on plastic. Next step is bringing them to a real one. They look like they would have a blast! I always loved ice skating. Now I am excited about bringing my boys one day!
