The shiny, waxed floor just about sent me sprawling when I first skated out onto it! It sure wasn't like the cement that we're so used to rollerblading on! So, you can imagine that it was a bit of a challenge to keep our wheels from skidding away from us and to maintain the right amount of friction to remain upright! However, we all proceeded with caution and had a great time.
I did have to chuckle at the girls' surprised reaction to the sight of those roller skates with the four orange wheels. I shared from my growing-up years that those are what I learned to skate with. (I'm sure glad to see that "that old kind" is still being used today 'cause now I don't feel so old!)
Grace takes a break by the wall, trying to cool off. It was so hot in there!
Oops...wipe out!
Alex elected not to skate and kept Leah so the older two girls and I could skate.~Wee

What a fun night! I remember doing this as a kid.
Hey Lore,
Anonymous is me. It won't let me post otherwise. Not sure why. Love you.

your wipe out pic really made me laugh when I saw poor Phil on his side in the background ( :
Hi Lorelei and girlsl. Looks like you had a lot of fun. love, momb
Did I tell you my funny story that I brought an extra pair of blades that we had along? When I put them on at the rink I said, "I've never bladed before." I promptly took them back off and rented a pair of those "funny looking four orange-wheeled ones". It was much safer....and fun. Jeremy's birthday was on the 4th and a group kidnapped him and took him out to IHOP at Midnight Monday--in his bathrobe!!
