I have wanted to try curling for years. Every time the Winter Olympics are on I think ‘I could do that’! Haha. So I recently saw a 2-hour lesson in the community education newsletter and asked the niece and nephew if they wanted to try. The niece decided to give it a try, but the nephew had a soccer game. Curling is really fun! Not too hard and my bad back was only a little sore after, but then I was being extremely careful and did not fall. It was in the 40s on the ice, so a bit chilly. The ice was very interesting and has an odd feel to it. Its pebbled and not too slippery to walk on and the pebbling creates a friction for the stone to glide upon. Trivia for ya – the stones weigh 44 pounds and you never pick them up!
