Roller Derby

Last weekend the Terrys' and us took the kids roller skating. This was the first time the kids had been in a roller rink and the first in over 20 years since any of the adults had been in a roller rink. Needless to say it was quite a comical sight to watch all of us on skates.
Madelyn spent the majority of her time on her rear or clinging to the wall. The only time I fell was when some rather large lady came crashing into me. I gave her the look of death and she apologized profusely. Ryan and I took turns holding up Madelyn, which explained why my shoulders and arms were so sore the next day. Lifting 52lbs over and over is tiring on the old muscles.
It was nice to try something different for a change but I can bet we won't be going back to a roller rink any time soon. It was way too much work for a night of fun.

Lacing up before the fun began.

As you can tell in this picture Madelyn wasn't so thrilled about skating

Practicing on the carpet was much easier.

Isn't this the cutest?

Taking a break....not sure if it was a planned break or they just fell down.


Brandon and Marcus trying out their skates. Marcus spent a majority of the evening in his parents' arms.

Kenzie is just a year older than Madelyn and did very well on skates.
