Our city just put in an open air skating rink this winter. It is downtown in the heart of the city tucked between the old casinos. The cub scouts decided to take a whack at skating last Sunday and I was down there to snap a few shots of their bravery. As you can see this was definitely a team effort as they clung to each other trying to get around the rink. I assure you all the falls on the ice were also a team effort and quite amusing as they tumbled like dominos. They were all good sports and had a fantastic time. There were no injuries and a good time was had by all. Some actually really got the hang of it before they were through and were skating quite well around the oval. For the most part the clinging seemed to be more fun than necessity. It is always impressive how easy going children are about learning things and falling or making mistakes doesn't phase them like it does adults. Adults should take more queues from children than they do. It would relieve a lot of their stress.
