Going for Gold at the 2010 Olympics!!!

Ice skating in August anyone??? Jason used to skate and play hockey all the time in high school. Then he moved to big cities and got busy being a chef so he hasn't skated in a long time. Jason wanted to see the ice arena at Adrian College while he was home and he lucked out that there was an "open skate" time, so we all went ice skating.

For those of you who don't know, I'm not so great at any sport where things are strapped to my feet. Skating, skiing, roller blading or anything like that just doesn't fit into my skills. So with my parents watching Megan I strapped on some skates and took off around the rink!
Just posing for a picture. Actually, Mark needed to help me get to the other side of the opening along the boards because I didn't want to fall and break my arm. Hey give me a break, the last time I skated was when Jason made a ice "rink" in our back yard, in high school.
Just keep wait until the 2010 Winter Olympics, I'll be a contender for gold!

As you can see I wasn't lying about my lack of skating skills, but we all had fun, no body fell and Megan enjoyed watching Uncle Jason zoom by on skates. (I didn't get any pictures of her because that would require me to hold a camera while trying to stand up.)
