It sounded like fun (to someone) …lacing up a pair of ice
skates in order to skate on a rink in the center of town with a crowd watching
just to get the first taste of Christmas while listening to Frank Croon
Christmas songs.
Well, that sounded like fun to Karina and Cooper, so off we
went. I learned another
lesson; kids will not reassure when you have a fear. As I was lacing my skates, I turned to Karina and admitted
my fear, “Honey, I am scared!!”
Her response, “I’M NOT, LET’S GO!!!”

It was another fun “first” for the Hoff family…well, Cooper
may tell you differently since he spent much of the time butt down on the ice. Not only did Frank put a Christmas
feeling in the air, so did watching them build the huts for “Weihnachtsmarkt
markt”, decorating of the large tree and the very warm Glühwein. (A traditional
beverage prepared from red wine, heated and spiced with cinnamon sticks,
vanilla pods, cloves, citrus and sugar.)

Sounds like that Gluhwein can take away fears for lots of things!:) Looks like you had a great time.:) Too bad I wasn't there...I could "butt skate" with Cooper!:) love, m:)
ReplyDeleteAww, reminds me of the trip to NY to see you when I was about 11yrs old. We went ice skating with your room mate. That was the first time I went ice skating too. I think I would need the warm wine drink now to try it again.
