Fifty Cents Worth of Fun

Beautiful full moon, outdoor skating rink, 15 friends from church, brisk weather, energy to burn, 25 cents skate rental, hockey equipment, and the girls were good to go.

Just so you know, that's not an incoming UFO. The rink's light looks way bigger than it actually was.

My two girls are in the middle

Taking my spectator job very seriously. Notice the four layers of clothing? (My snow pants don't show.)

Frustrated by their inability to block the other team's goals, the little girls pushed two goals together so no pucks could get in, only to become prisoners and at the mercy of the big guys.

Not to fear. If they just chew long enough, they'll get out.

At the end of the evening, after some of the group had left, I tried taking a group picture. When daughters, Erica and Anna, struck an Olympic ice skater pose, the three girls on the left followed suit...and landed in a heap.

No sympathy for them. Lani (middle girl on the ground) does her Mermaid pose.

At last, everyone on their feet and looking at the camera.


On a scale of 1-10, one being horrible and 10 being fantastic, the girls rate the evening an 8. Not bad for 50 cents.
