rollin' moments...

Have you ever tried to take young kids skating?
How about 7?
Yeah, it's FUN!!
We had the WHOLE rink to ourselves... it was a true GROWING experience.
I gave tokens for FALLING!
I told the kids that the goal wasn't to skate perfect, it was to skate better at the end than at the beginning.
There were some tears... NO BLOOD... and LOTS of falls.
I'm so proud of their determination and effort.
My favorite part was that when we were done they all wanted to go skating again soon.
(And, i loved getting Sam's Club slurpies afterward!!)
By the end of the summer, we'll be skating super-stars...
maybe.
Good Times!!!

How did you get the rink to yourself? Who did you have to bribe for that?
