Today you could skate @ the local rink for 99 cents. What a deal! Shout out to the Trimmers-- thanks! We just couldn't pass it up.
Alexander had a great time skating. This lucky kid met several of his friends there. I was impressed that the Moms were all skating, too! {Except me--Hey, I've already been on a bike this year. We're taking these extreme sports one step at a time:} 
Off he goes!
Courtney was completely elated that she got to skate for the first time! As we were lacing up her skates, she said, "I can't believe I'm really, REALLY skating!" Her big brother took her hand and helped her along. What an awesome big brother-- such a gentleman.
Well, skating is much harder than it looks. She was getting very frustrated {can you tell?} She wanted to do it perfectly, just like the big kids.
I assured her that everyone falls down, and the important thing is that you get up, dust yourself off, and keep trying. After a little rest, some strawberry fanta {love the red moustache}, she was ready to try it again. Good for you, little roller babe!

Oh the memories of the roller rink. Takes me back to 3rd grade, me with crimped hair in a side pony tail, my favorite puffy jean skirt, layered socks and my oh so cool purple skates. Yep, Rob's Roller Rink was the place to be!
oh, love the Nacho soundtrack...whenever I hear it, I just smile!
