Kate walked over to the cobblers counter and takes the skates she had fixed for her. "These are ice skates. The have a special blade on them. This allows you to glide on ice. I will teach you how now that the lake is frozen over." Once you learn how..it is very fun. The men and boys play games. I like to skate fast at times and skate with a partner. I can't show you how on land. You feel like you are flying with the air in your face when you go fast and glide on the ice."
