We found a size 7 pair of ice skates for dd12 on Freecycle that are being picked up today. So dd11 really was wanting a pair too. In talking to our neighbor (she believes in the ask and ye shall receive philosophy), she discovered they had a pair her size that they never use and that she can borrow. She is trying them out on our ice rink of a parking lot. I wonder how many bumps and bruises she will have tomorrow. (The knee pads were the neighbor boy's idea.)
