Ice Skating, How Does It Work?

Yes, Ice Skating, how does it work? Without Ice skating shoes, is what I mean.

Well, the past few days it has been really cold, and alot of the little lakes have been frozen over. It is so cool. But cold.
Anyway. Alot of the lakes are frozen over, and yesterday we heard that the authorities have finally given the go ahead, skate on the ice because it is thick enough now.

So, yesterday we wanted to go to Harz, which are the big mountains in this area, but we didn't go.
So we thought we would go to Magdeburg today, where one of the lakes is frozen over, and people are allowed to skate on it.

Thing is, we don't have any ice skating shoes.
Think it is a problem? Well, it really is, but when there is a will, there is a way!

So we drove there, got out, walked all the way there, all the normal stuff.
When we got to the ice we just went on it with our normal shoes and started sliding all over the ice.
It was so fun, and although I was totally scared that the ice would break thorugh, it didn't, and it was so much fun!

We hung around there for a while, on the big lake, with lots of other people, drunk a hot chocolate, went for a walk, found another lake and went on that too.
That had no people on it, and we played soccer on it, with an ice clump. It was fun.

Anyway, we hung aorund there for a while, played aorund, went on a cool playground, got sick, then drove off.

When we were driving back, we saw heaps of cars stopped by the road, and we wondered why, so we hopped out and took a look.

Thing is, every once in a while, The Elbe, the river here, changes direction and goes somewhere else. The "Old Elbe" was totally frozen over as well, and we went on that too.
That was a little thinner, and we heard the ice break a little bit, but sliding all over the place was really fun!
We also saw these people who had brung out their chairs, their camping set, and sat on the ice, eating sausages and drinking what the Germans call "Gluhwein." (Happy wine.) Basically it is warm wine. Tastes good!

We then drove a little further and saw the real Elbe, and it looked so cool. we had to walk a little bit, but when we got there, there was all these little ice clumps, and they were floating down the stream. It was so beautiful, looked like something out of a dream. Like in Ice Age, if you remember what happens there correctly, and if I remember it correctly too.

I would have stayed there again, but Nina realised that it was getting towards 2:30, and her boyfriend would be there soon, so she acted quickly and pretended to be sick, so we could go home.
Sometimes she really is a spoilt brat, thinking only about herself, and that really annoys me.
I don't want to start a bitch-fest, but when she wants something she will keep bugging and bugging till she gets it.
Like when we were in Berlin, and she wanted to get home, because she was tired (and like always, she knew Gideon would be calling soon.) Anyway, so she just walked off in the middle of berlin, and because she has never had to think of anyone but herself, she didn't think anything of it. Because her parents don't realise that that is not how someone should be, when they are a kid.
Because she is an only child, when she wants to go, her parents just comply, just to keep her happy. Stupid, but true.

OK. [/rant]

Anyway, so now I am here. we got home, ate lunch, and now in about 30 mins we are going to eat and drink, a little Sunday afternoon get together of the family. great. I can't wait.
Hmph.

Beter go, find some other people to annoy...*hehehe*

Oh yeah, got a really cool idea for my Middle Seminar Project, thanks to Amber, my great brain, and Oliver, for having a video camera. =P (But if you still have ideas I would be glad to hear them.)
