Rollerskating
This weekend, Emily and Angela's school had a skate night at Skate World. We had never taken the girls rollerskating before, so we decided to try it. Matthew and I both grew up going to Skate World as kids, so it brought back memories going there. For those of you who also went there as kids, it is EXACTLY the same, except more rundown. The SAME orange and red carpet, except patched up with duct tape, same orange booths, etc. Anyways, we had a lot of fun. Fortunately it came back quickly for Matthew and I. I guess it's like riding a bike. I'd forgotten how fun it is, but I'd also forgotten what a hard thing it is to learn how to do. Emily and Angela had a hard time at first, but by the time we left they could go around the rink on their own. They stayed right by the wall most of the time. I thought Matthew and I would take turns staying out with Nicole, but I saw someone else pushing a toddler in a stroller on the rink, so we went back out to the car to get the stroller and it worked great. Even though she fell quite a few times, Emily said it was so much fun and can't wait to go back again. She said that she was jealous of the other kids who could skate a lot faster. I told her she'll be able to do that someday if she keeps doing it.

Good for your girls for hanging in there and trying. I'm afraid mine would have quit!
That's so funny to hear about Skate World. That place brings back memories. . . huge skate nights where girls were trying to impress boys and boys were trying to impress girls. I remember being asked to skate on a couple's skate song but being too scared to hold the boy's hand! So don't ever let your daughters go there on school skate nights!!!
Oh my goodness--how could Skate World be anymore run down--it seemed pretty ghetto when we were kids. There was always some kind of drama going on their.
Sounds like a fun family night. I'll have to add it to my list once my boys get a little older.
**We need to get together sometime. I'll give you a call.
how fun! it's the same deal here with SKATE KING! when you enter the building it's like walking right back into the 70's!!! your sweet girls look so grown up in that last picture holding hands! sweet!
