Yes, we would have! Prior to that pond, I had only skated once, at an indoor ice arena, three years earlier. I spent most of that one afternoon clutching the railing around the outside edge, trying to stay upright. I made it across the width of the arena before the day was over, and felt I had seen success!

lol, I have never ice skated but this is what I still would do if I was to go roller skating.
