This past weekend Becky and I met up with about 35 of our 8th graders from church to go ice skating at an outdoor rink in downtown Louisville (the town we live in). The community of our students is amazing and they are a real joy to be around. And as always with our students there are a good deal of shenanigans that go on.
At one point, one of my students and I arranged a time for me to "check" him into the boards in front of all of the 8th grade ladies. As a result of my vicious collision with him he completely "flew" out of the rink. It must have looked rather convincing as later we found out that all of the girls thought the whole thing was real.
Towards the end of the night I was starting to feel a bit more confident on my skates. I hadn't ice skated in several years and it took awhile to feel comfortable again. With this increase in confidence I decided it would be a good idea to skate as fast I could at Becky and then stop as quickly as possible in an effort to spray her pants with a bit of ice. Let's just say this maneuver didn't go exactly as planned and I ended up the one covered in ice...it was a fun night.
