I guess there is not much to watch on the telly, but on a week-end, the parks are packed and the Skoda sports park was bustling. In the centre of the skating circle, are a few beach volleyball courts, skate-hockey court, mini tennis courts, ramps and tricks for bikes / skateboards.
After only having their skates for less than a week, I am truly amazed at how quickly Amber & Sarah have got the basics of skating. What really helped was when I bought my skates on Saturday morning and they were able to watch what I do with my feet as we skated on our street in the afternoon. When we got to the skating park today, it was only a couple of laps of holding hands before Amber bravely ventured off on her own. A bit precariously, but without incident.
Sarah is a natural born skater. She was already doing the skating motion before Amber, but doesn't want anyone to know that she's brilliant. It is much easier to be towed by Mom than to have to skate :) but every now and then she forgets to fake it and she skates along brilliantly.
It was a stunning day today with blue skies streaked with jet trails. The view over the village roofs was very picturesque. The girls also had just as much fun playing in the giant sandpit (volleyball courts) as they did skating.
Maybe we can persuade Colin that the skating thing is "cool" in time for us to skate together next week-end ;)
