Ice Capades

Yesterday Lina and I had installment #3 of Daddy-Daughter dates. We went to the Winter Lodge in Palo Alto which is an outdoor ice skating rink. The best part of this rink is that one side of the rink has a carpeted bench to sit on (see the picture). That was a life saver. Lina and I would do a single lap and hop on the bench for a quick breather. 

We would skate with Lina skating (mostly gliding, jumping, or swerving) in front of me as I would hold her arms to keep her on her feet. I reconfirmed that I am no good at ice skating, a fear that I had as we were driving over to the event. I seemed to have flashbacks of arms and legs flying in the air before hitting the ice. Not to be outdone Lina and I had a couple tumbles of our own. This also confirmed that Lina is no natural either - my fault. However, to her credit she never gave up and wanted to stop.
