Field Trip

Nathan's class at school was going to the ice skating rink for their field trip.  They needed volunteers to help with shoes, so I signed up.  I ended up not reading the message right and I was too late to tie shoes.  Yikes!  

They did tell me I could skate for free and Nathan was begging, so I donned some ice skates and took a turn around the rink.

I'm too old for that anymore.  I was terrified of falling down and permanently injuring myself.  So, I took those skates off as soon as I could and I watched from the sidelines.

Nathan picked it up quickly (no surprise there).

He was off racing kids before you know it.

He did have quite a spill at the end where he really hurt his elbow and knee.  They both swelled up really bad, but I don't think he broke anything.
It's better him than me, but I was still sad for him. 
It was a fun field trip.  I'm glad he got to go.
