Lydia decided that she wants to buy some roller blades with all the money she has saved up- which is quite a lot because she never buys anything. She just saves all that birthday money forever. Well, I thought before she bought roller blades she should try it first and see how she likes it. So on Friday she had school off and Mike had work off, so we all went to the roller skating rink and Lydia and Colton learned how to roller blade. It was so rewarding to see them stick with it even though it was hard and they wanted to give up.
We started out using this walker thing with wheels. It really helped the kids get their confidence, but it didn't take them too long and they were going on their own . Lydia got it down and was comfortable just staying at that level and cruising around. Colton kept falling and falling, flopping all over because he was always trying to go faster and get better.
Mike got a good work out! He even participated in the race for 18 years and older. It was he and one other man who joined him. They tied for first!
While kids were learning how to skate, Josie and I made good cheerleaders- and we also checked out all the arcade games. It was great family time! Guess we will be buying those roller blades.

Wow it's been too long since I've checked your blog! How cool you all had a skating day. I still can't skate! I like my feet on the ground thank you very much. Texas sound fun. You are making your way west? I wish we lived closer! If you ever make it to Washington let me know! We are finally settling down for good.
