We went roller skating yesterday and had SO much fun! My three oldest tried it out and although they have tried it a couple of times before, they've never done it enough to really get the hang of it. They were pretty off balance for a while, but they started to get the hang of it and by the time we left, they were able to get around the rink really well by themselves. Number three had a harder time than the other two, but he was determined and he kept working at it until he got to be pretty confident skating by himself. He got pretty creative in the way he got around, using the walls, practicing on the carpet, and sitting on his skates while pushing himself along with his hands. I was really proud of him. Our youngest played on a playground next to the rink and had a lot of fun too.
Emily and I really enjoyed watching all of them learn a new skill. It was great to see them smiling as they got the hang of it. I skated with them and helped coach them a little in the beginning and once they got the hang of it, my job was to sneak up on them while they skated and startle them. I had a GREAT time! I love spending time with my family.
