Yesterday I went ice skating McFetridge park. It is a CPD park (Chicago park district) There is a big indoor ice rink there. My mom went with me but only I skated. The park was about 20 minutes drive from my house. I did not skate often and the last time I skated was when I was 7, now so am 11. The open skate was from 4:30 pm to 6:00 pm. I fell down a lot when I started but I quickly taught myself how to skate by watching other people.There were a lot of other people, about 50 is what I think. I liked my time there and became very good at ice skating soon. But it was very tiring. The skates felt very heavy. It took a lot of energy to skate.
