Ice Skating - Taupo

 It's been a few years since we have been ice skating. Taupo had a rink, so we made the most of it for the school holidays.

 I fell over twice, and managed to get an awesome bruise on my buttocks.  The urchins can now skate faster than me.

 There were some spectacular falls by Tighe, and a crash involving a dad and a small girl.  Everyone survived.

 Anneke practised going backwards. Fortunately there weren't too many small children about.

After a lunch of burgers and chips, we soaked at Waikite hot Pools for the rest of the day.

The ice skating rink is back, so of course we had to go in the school holidays.  Tighe and Quinn are so much more confident this year.  My foot still hurts from the swollen tendon, so I used the Zima Frames, and that made it a little more comfortable for me.  Fun, Fun, Fun!

Look how fast now Mama!

There is an ice skating rink opened at the Lakefront for the school holidays.  Jack and Danielle are here for the school holidays, so as a treat, we are going skating.  The urchins were surprised how well Mama skated, and how fast she was...
