Zamboni honi

Top ten things to do at an ice rink besides fall down.

10) Skate

9) Beg for change for the snack bar

8) Race your friends around the rink
7) pretend you're a famous skater and hog the center of the rink.

6) Try to drink your mom's punch through the glass
5) Figure out how to stop without using the skate pick. (slamming into a wall is good...)

4) Try to use the restroom in skates.
3) Whine because you have to leave early.

2) Accidentally step on your moms foot whilst still in skates.
1) Watch the Zamboni clean up the ice and dream of a future career!

Our county 4H group has a skating party every January and of course we go! My ankles can't do more than one round, so I haven't skated since the first year... But I enjoy watching the kids!

And they LOVE LOVE LOVE the Zamboni!

Hilarious! Jake's birthday party is Friday night at our local ice-skating rink. Good to know there are other things to besides fall down...ha ha.

I don't know why the Zamboni is so mesmerizing, but it seems like everyone falls under it's spell!

We don't have an ice skating rink anywhere near here, but if we did, I'd be the first one on the ice! And, I'd be the first one to fall down! HA! :)

The zamboni leaves such a sense of instant gratification....suddenly there's all that lovely "new" ice...a perfectly clean slate full of 100% potential.....

Do you think the zamboni driver is that zen/philosophical about it??

Looks like FUN!!

Looks like so much fun! I love going skating - my husband and I even took skating lessons while we were dating.

Stopping in from SITS.

You forgot get a frost-bitten butt(from falling on the ice)
AND
Wear a cute sweater and flirt with the cute boys(not while skating because you could fall on your butt).

Ouch, you got stepped on with skates! We used to try to fall and slide on our butts until we hit the wall (like sledding, but on your butt).
