When Pauline was here we tried to go ice skating with Netta. We ended up in an enormous bookstore and we never actually found the skating rink that we had read about on the internet. But while we were looking at books we met a little girl named Grace. She took our phone number and called the next day to make play date with Netta. So we went back to the bookstore and met her after Pauline went home. We ended up going ice skating with her. She knew where the rink was and showed us the way. Netta had a great time and after hanging on to the side for a short time to get her balance she was off skating and having fun. Poor Olive wanted to skate but with her leg still healing it didn't seem like the best plan. So Olive and I waited for Netta and Grace and ate cookies. It was a lovely day and has led to more fun play dates with Grace and her friends. They are really sweet and she is quite a kid. Very brave to call us and spark up the friendship.
In fact the next post will be about our next day with them..... Something to look forward to......
Netta's experience sounds just like Molly's when she went ice skating for the first time last month! Molly can't wait to go again, but there's no place really local to go.
