Skate City

Jenelle got roller skates for Christmas. I thought she could practice around the house, but they leave marks on the floor. We've tried practicing outside, but those little breaks in the side walk seem to throw her off. We have a roller rink near the house so we went on Saturday. Curt and I each have roller blades, but we haven't used them for some time. Curt was kind enough to clean out all the mouse poop in the blades. I was extremely grossed out by the enormous amount of poop that came out so I declined to skate on Saturday.



Jenelle did much better than I thought. She only fell once. She even had some speed going by the end. She enjoyed herself SO much that we went back again on Sunday. I skated this time. It was fun. The rink played good music and they had fun lights. I was a little annoyed by all the kids that darted in against the flow. I almost wiped out several times when they cut me off. I think we need to adjust Jenelle's skates for next time. The wheels are a little tight and she can't glide very well. She is going to need speed for when her cousins come visit.
