A Final Good-Bye To Winter

Every winter, there is something I look forward to: ice skating, but for the last three years, I haven't had time. I was ecstatic when my mom told me that we were going skating, especially because the skating season ended April first. I must admit, my skating skills need a bit, a lot of work, but I enjoyed trying to relearn. Since Wollman rink is in Central Park, I was able to snap a few photos of beautiful New York City

I've always wanted to ride in one of these

I was admiring his horse and he hollered asking if I wanted a ride. ($50.00 per ride!)

me and some friends falling... again

another successful lap

the trick is to bend your knees and have your arms out

steady... steady...

Ali and I skating... our skirts are all wet from falling many times

by this time, I got much better:)

love the sun in this one

the rink is surrounded by sky scrapers

can you guess... more buildings.

tired, sore and ready to go home.

And with that, one final good-bye to winter.
