Like most people, our life is an adventure. Although I'm not sure I'm entirely prepared for the next adventure(s) my life will be taking, I'm ready to embrace it and do all I can to make it great. It seems like as a kid, life is full of fun and exciting adventures. I have so many memories of ice skating on the frozen creek in our back yard and the beaver ponds in the back pastures. So, when my mom said she wanted us to all go to Midway ice skating for her birthday, I was thrilled. I may have been a little rusty in the beginning, since I haven't skated in ages, but by the time we were finished, I mastered skating backward, attempted a few jumps, almost landed some successfully, and enjoyed so many fun times with Jack and my family. It was definitely a fun adventure for all of us.
Initially I put Jack in skates and took turns with everyone in attempting to help him skate around the rink. It wasn't going well so we took his skates off and let him play in his shoes. He loved it and ran all over the ice while performing his patented "knee slide."
As tough as the journey ahead of us may be, its adventures like this that will make it all worth it.
