Skating at the Lagoon

Dear Lynette,

So we discovered that not far from our house is a really big lagoon that we can skate on over winter. Neither James or I have skated outside of a rink before and thought it might be a good time to try! Apparently I looked so painfully inept one of the locals stopped me to give me some pointers. You lean forward when you skate......it helps but you go way faster and end up on your butt a lot!!! James looked much more graceful!!

James shows me how its done.
Graceful like a fox!

Can you believe it!! You can make your own ice rink its that cold right now!!!

Love Telle
