Disco Skate Night :)

Watching Mommy play "Red Light Green Light" :)

In honor of Lincoln's Birthday, our family went roller skating :) How long has it been since Matthew and I have done this activity... hmmm, how about a couple of decades ago?!? Our kids, except Isaac (he has skated twice before in his young life), have really never skated before. They have played "skating" at the house, with the little plastic toy skated that Aunt Bethany and Aunt Rebekah gave Seth a couple of years ago... that's about their experience with skating :)


Whoa... how do you walk in these???


Are you kidding Daddy? You really want us to go out there?!?



The kids learned in a hurry. Within the hour of getting skates on their little feet, they were cruising along (the wall) by themselves! Seth told us that his record was falling only 5 times in one lap :). Isaac perfected the art of falling in a sliding position (so that he wouldn't land on his bottom each time). And Abby... well, she couldn't gain much speed, but her poise and attitude went a long ways baby!!!


Bye... here we go :)


Don't let go Daddy... I'm depending on you!!!


Awww... piece of cake :)


WE HAD A BLAST!!! What a fun family night... skating in a basketball court without the baskets AKA roller skating rink :)

What a great idea! I love skating, too! I am so glad you guys had a fun day as a family. Oh, be careful, though. Some memebers of our family have been known to injure themselves on roller skates - while skating on the carpet! (Just ask Aaron!)
