Skate Night

Tuesday night Andy and I took the kids to Sk8town. We met our friend Carmen and her sons, Michael and Ryan. It was the first time Morgan and Adrian had been on real roller skates. After 5 minutes they both were ready to give up and go home. They did not like it at all! I told them we had just paid $5 each to get in and we weren't going anywhere. I took them around the rink one loop each at a time and after a few loops they were really loving it and when it was finally time to leave they didn't want to.



Morgan was getting pretty stable toward the end but still didn't want to venture on her own, even holding on to the wall. Adrian, however, was ready to take off even though he didn't get very far. I had just started taking Morgan on her loop and looked back and saw Adrian was on the rink floundering around. So I went back and got him and was trying to help both at the same time. Another time they had "backward skate only". I deposited the kids on the carpet and wanted to do it for old-time's sake and when I came back around I saw Adrian on the rink shuffling backwards. It was cute! Adrian also has his own unique style of skating. He pretty much keeps his right skate on the ground and pushes with his left one. I think it has something to do with how much time he has been spending riding his scooter he got from Santa.



There is another skate night planned for January 16th and we are so there!
