Reed has been asking, begging, to go for the past several weeks. So, I set my sights on a groupon and off we went.
Ryan and Julia (Kathy's kids) took off skating as fast as their Yankee feet would carry them. (They're from Connecticut). Reed and Nolan, on the other hand, were anxious to get their skates on but then cried for the first 20 minutes at how hard it was!! Needless to say, they sat clinging to me until they saw some other friends from school skating around like monkies. Finally, they ventured out into crowd but they didn't feel quite that comfortable so I got them some of those granny walkers with wheels to help them stay up. After that, I didn't see them for a few hours! Now they want to go back every day. So funny how a little boost in confidence can really make them soar!
Next time, I'm either going to buy a pair of skates for myself or bag my feet 100x so I don't get athletes foot because it looked like fun. And, by the way, they don't serve alcohol so what else is there to do? Skate away, skate away, skate away!
Yea, braugh! I'm a skater dude!
You go first! No YOU go first!
Old man river!
