SKATING - MARCH 2009
After much anticipation, we spent a beautiful evening in the park!

Michelle, the S.A. Representative, who made all this possible - Thanks a lot for the great job well done!

Tim & his inseparable drink!

Where is my drinking mug?

Break time!

I needed proof that this ice is not only cold but also hard!

Now what?

Let me see what this skating is all about...

It's not that bad - just follow me!

We couldn't have asked for a nicer day.

Let's see who is still standing...

Where is everybody else?

Safe landing

Kanda's husband (perfect match)

Look at me skate

Entertainment to cheer up the tired skaters

Coffee break

That's a cute son!

I need a break!

I'm still learning, okay?

Give me a break...

Safety meeting - if nobody moves, nobody gets hurt!

Let's do this together!

This is how it's done!

This is not how it's done!

Some just took it easy

It's getting better

Just keep practicing

Peace!

Left, right, left...

You actually get a nice view from down here, but it isn't as comfortable as it looks!

Learning to skate can make you tired. Can somebody push me now?

The first few steps...

What a view of the sky!
Let's see what the fuss is about...

Make sure to take lots of pictures!

This is still easy

They're doing well


Debriefing - let's review the rules of skating
