As if sledding weren't enough, we decided to go roller skating, too! Everybody got on skates, except for Haley and Dad. They were big chickens. I haven't been roller skating since college, and that was actually roller blading, but still. The last time we went as a family, I was super pregnant, so I couldn't participate. But I'm not now, so I did!
Andrew and Joey were whizzing around the place with no problem. After awhile, I helped Grace get her balance, and pulled her along right beside me. The hardest was trying to keep Matt upright between my legs and skate at the same time. After one lap, I was sweating like a pig. But he had a great old time, so around and around we went.
Lindsey brought her family, and she and I took turns taking our kids around the rink. We looked just like we did in elementary school! Although I didn't try going backwards this time, but boy were we good, back in the day -- skating to Bon Jovi!
Some things that are EXACTLY the same at the skating rink since I was in 5th grade:
The rink
The carpet
The skates
The disco balls
The bathrooms
The male workers (long, greasy hair - with nowhere else to go)
Wow.
