What I did in the weekend! 17/5/2021

Yesterday, I went ice skating at Alpine ice with my friend!

In the car ride to Alpine ice, I was really nervous.

It was only my second time skating. When my mum parked, my friend and I ran up to each other and gave each other a big bear hug. As we entered the building, I started to regret my decisions   I was really scared- My hands were shaking, And I just wanted to run away screaming. My friend (Who is a professional skater) grabbed me by the hand and took me to put on my ice skates. I shook my head, and she assured me that I will be okay. I slid into the ice skates and walked onto the ice. I tried my best not to fall over and my friend taught me how to stand, and how to do a cross over. I successfully learned how to skate in just two hours! I was very proud of myself. My friend and I were skating in circles hand in hand, and just giggling and talking about life. I really enjoyed it.

Everyone played a game called ''Spin the bottle'' Basically what it is, is everyone stands in a circle, and a bottle gets spun. Whoever the bottle lands on, wins a prize! Sadly, I didn't win anything. But I didn't really care. My friend and I bought some hot chips and we were so hungry, that after a couple of seconds, the chips were gone.

Near the end of the session, something traumatic happened!- A girl broke her leg while skating. A huge crowd surrounded her. She looked in pain, but she wasn't crying, and I think that was because she was is shock. A wheelchair was rolled onto the ice, and the girl was taken away. I felt really sorry for her. :(

My mum made a video of me and my friend skating, but I sadly cannot put in onto my blog.

Overall, I really enjoyed ice skating, and I really want to go ice skating again! :)
