dodge the children
Ok there are 2 times for open ice skating at the YMCA. 11:30 to 1:30 and 3:30 to 5:00. I decided to go at 11:30 thinking that there would be few people and I could skate freely (work and school). That day, of all days, there was a group of 150 students, ages 5 to 11. About 75 of them chose to skate. Don't get me wrong kids are fine and I'm glad that they are able to enjoy ice skating but I skating around them was an obstacle course. I definitely got a workout.
