Barton Creek Ice Skating

This past Friday night I went Ice skating for the first time, since 2 years ago. My plans were different before through. I was suppose to go to Dallas for a swim meet, but they cancelled it last minute because of pretty bad whether conditions. I personally was glad it was cancelled, because then I was able to ice skate with my friend.
I went on my bus, sat down and got on my phone. Sense I have my phone on silent in my locker the whole day, I never see text or hear them. But, Once I pressed the home button, there was a message waiting for me. It was from my friend saying, Your going ice skating with me!!! My body went from sluggish movement to excitement movement, as I walked to my house, from the bus stop. Then, she came to picked me up.
Once we got to the ice rink there was really nobody there. I liked it to, it’s like it was all to ourselves. Then, our mouths became frozen sen e it was freezing outside. So, we got some hot chocolate and sat by the bonfire, set up. It was the best feeling ever. After we finished our hot chocolate, more people started showing up. By the time we got back on the ice, there was about 23 people on too. But, the session was almost over anyways. But, the most important part is that I had the best time of my life with my friend.

My favorite season is winter. The warmth by the fireplace, the cozy blankets, and cuddling with my dog are the best. When the clear rain drops in the air, turn into white snowflakes, my heart leaps with excitement.

When I lived in Nashville it would snow about 8-11 times, every winter. This would cause school to be cancelled. Then, we would have the whole day to our selfs to enjoy the snow.

One of my favorite memories from experiencing snow was, December 25, 2011.

I woke up to open my presents and then unwrapped them and of course the blinds were closed. Once we played around with our gifts for a while. Then, I opened the garage to throw the trash, that was filled with rapping paper. As soon as the garage opened I saw a white blanket of SNOW covered all over my drive way, and once the garage opened all the way everything was covered with SNOW!

Skiing

Skiing is so much fun! Going down the steep slopes are the best. The very first time I skied down a hill was in 2010.

I felt like I was going to die as soon as I headed toward the bottom of the hill. But, I squeezed my ski poles to death and I tried to keep my eyes wide open. Then, all of a sudden my body started to relax. The second I felt this moment, I knew I was safe, at the bottom of the hill. I headed back to the ski lifts for my 2nd round. This was the year I mastered skiing down slopes.
