First time at the Rink

Once a month, our homeschooling community rents out the roller rink. Since roller skating has become the thing around our home, we decided to take the whole family for a spin. Oh my. What have we been missing?

Memories of my childhood x 1000.  I remember hoping, praying, bleating for the roller rink to be open on the weekends.  My parents loved to take us.  John and I laugh about how we hoped the "cute" person at school was there.  Giggle.

Vianney had little trouble learning the ropes.  After a few falls at the beginning, she improved greatly by the end of the night.

John does the limbo in his work clothes.  Isn't he the best x 1000?  He called me multiple times throughout the day with eager excitement to roller skate.  He received He Man roller skates when he was little and had such fond memories of skating with his grandfather. I knew he was excited to go when he didn't even change his work clothes after he got home from work so we could just hop in the car.  cute x 1000.

See that smile.

Ever-Cautious Dominic.  He wasn't too sure at first, but a couple of his friends so sweetly helped him learn.  At one point, I saw one of his buddies, Kevin, holding onto his arm trying to help him around the rink.  I thought it was sweet that they were unaware that they were holding onto each other's arm in public.

Of course, Rose needed no adjustment.  Skates on and Go.  That is all she needed to understand the whole scenario.  She went around and around one million times.  I never saw her fall.

Lillie picked it up quickly too.  She took a few nasty falls, but did awesome.

Last but certainly not least, Social butterfly Zellie.  Zellie is the perfect 1980s girl.  She loves big hair, bubblegum and gabbing with friends.
