Roller Skating

Garrett has been talking about roller skating lately.  Must have heard other kids talking about it at school.  I thought maybe we should introduce him to roller skating before he gets invited to his first skating birthday party.  So last Saturday morning we tackled the skating rink.  It was just Garrett, Avery, and I since Greg stayed home to put Emmett down for a nap.  I was a little unsure of how this would go with 1 adult and 2 kids who have never skated!  But we had a great time!  Garrett fell down once (really hard = tears) and Avery fell down a million times but would just smile and get back up.  They skated along the wall and took turns holding my hand and skating until they were coordinated enough that I could manage one on each side of me.  We had fun and will definitely be back soon!  It reminded me that it takes awhile to learn to skate and that roller skates and the roller blades that I am used to are very different from each other!
