Skating Trip 2010

On December 30^th my cousins and I decided to go skating last minute. This day was quite eventful considering everything we planned to do, did not come together as planned. The day started off pretty good, we were on our way downtown when my cousin called me and told me he was unable to buy skates for $40 and this was a problem as neither of us had skates. So we decided to divert from going downtown to Pickering and meeting up with my cousins at his house, oh and to make things worst it started to rain. From my cousins house we went to like 2 different places to look for skates, and by now it was almost 2 o’clock. After finally getting our skates we decided to head down to the subway station close to my uncle’s store. On our way to the subway station my older cousin Nitin started to feel a little sick and, he was, good thing we were close to my uncle’s store. We got to the RTC and began our trip downtown by now it was already 5. We reached Nathan Phillips square around 6ish and as we were putting on our skates my brother noticed his skates were of the same foot. So luckily my cousin brought his brothers skates, which were about a size smaller but we managed to skate, using those small skates. Suddenly, my brother turns a corner and BAM, he got knocked over by some dude skating too close to the edge. I mean we were having an amazing time, but it started to get super cold, and I still had lots of homework to do when I got back. So just before we left to go back to Pickering, we were interviewed by CityTv, and we were asked questions about the new years show on the 31^st. Those were some hard questions. When we were on the subway back to Pickering, me and my cousin decided to play a prank on my brother and our friend who were semi sleeping on the subway. We decided to get off 3 stops before our stop and see if they would notice, they didn’t. Overall it was a great night and an amazing experience; I didn’t know skating could be so much fun.
