We took Journey and Wright with us rollerskating a few weeks ago-went with some of my family. (NO PICS) Jeff's not that great at skating, Journey is still a little on the young side, and Wright is just a tag along, but it brought back some very nice memories for ME. Mom used to take us the the Moberly roller rink some on Sunday afternoons. I don't know how many times, but enough that I remember it well and I can skate around the rink now without falling down even though I haven't skated in MANY YEARS (only forwards though, can't do backwards). I really like skating and I think I'll definitely take the kids more as they get older. There weren't alot of people there when we were and it made me wonder why? I guess it's obvious-Maybe they don't like going around feeling utterly and completely awkward with a bunch of strangers trying to look like they are really comfortable (must bring back memories of junior high). Or maybe it's the ultimate lesson in humility that a new skater (or even an experienced one) gets with the inevitable fall on that part of your body that you would have sworn moments ago had way more padding! Oh well-I'll take that risk to enjoy "zooming" across the floor a few times! HAPPY SKATING!!!!!!
