Albert's father, Al, grew up on the east coast and one of his fondest memories from childhood was ice skating on ponds. About a year ago he had the opportunity to try out his skills. As it turns out, he wasn't half bad considering he hadn't skated since the 1960's!! Now he wants to skate all the time. When we were planning his visit here, ALL he wanted to do was see Zack and ICE SKATE!!!!
Now, keep in mind, he will be celebrating his 80th birthday this April.
Since neither Albert or I have skated since the year we meet, and well, weren't even good then, (as you can see below) the closest I can hope for "when I am 80", is a hike aound the lake!!
Albert and my brother Brad skating about 9 years ago, note they are just inches from the wall, just in case.
Below are a few of the pictures Albert was able take from the sidelines of his Dad skating adventure at Evergreen lake.
Al in teal jacket with the beautiful Colorado day as a backdrop!
He started out kinda wobbly because this was the first time
Al had used "hockey skates"! (no toe pic)
Still got it!!
