Rollerskating

Has it been over 10 years since you have been rollerskating? Well it had been for me, until last weekend. Mike and Valeri decided to have a rollerskating birthday party. Chloe and Caleb were able to fit into the smallest size rollerskates. Of course they think they are invinsible and tried taking off the minute the skates were laced up. Chloe made it about 5 feet before falling directly on her tush. (Not a time to like being potty trained.) We all got our skates on and headed for the small practice area. As long as we didn't hold their hands they did pretty well holding on to the railing. If we held their hands it was like we were holding them up as well.

It was a fun night. The kids skated on/off from about 7:45pm when we got there until right before closing at 10pm. Papa Mark didn't skate because of his knee. He sat and watched and gave the kids good breaks to eat popcorn and slushies with him. It was definitely a good workout helping the kids on the main rink. We would each take a hand and skate around, giving our biceps a good workout, then switch sides after a few times around. (gotta even out the biceps ya know!!) I might even be motivated to lace up my old rollerblades now. We'll see.
