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

I didn’t know you could skate on plastic either. Looks like they had fun, though!

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!

Hmm thats actually better! My little one fell on the real ice and chipped his tooth… looks so much safer!
Happy WW and New Year!

Ok.. I would love to say that this looks like a ton of fun.. but I have a horrible memory of ice skating back in the day that I just can’t shake.
The girls look like pros! Maybe they could teach me?
