Oh, my gosh, I am so sore today! It was DIL's birthday (her 30th) and she chose roller skating for the family activity, instead of sitting around with a cake, etc. So, DH, DD, DS, DIL and I went to the "Rollerdrome" (remember that Carol Sue?) I haven't been there since my kids were little. It's changed a bit, but it's still there. I used to be able to skate no problem, so I didn't anticipate any. Boy was I wrong!! It's NOT like riding a bike - you can lose your ability! I was all over the place and my kids drug me out in the middle to do the Hokey Pokey, and when I "turned myself around" bam, down I went! I was laughing so hard I thought I was going to you know what, but I'm not laughing this morning. Why is it you're always the most sore, the second day?

LMAO, Sherri, you went rollerskating, girl you got more guts than I do.
Yes, spent fun times at the Rollerdome. Glad to know that it is still there. Spent some great times there with my cousins and friends. I think now that I would spend more time on the floor than being upright!!! LOL
Oh my I bet you have sore muscles, good for you for doing it!!!!

Enjoying life.

My DD just discovered roller skating this summer. We've been trying to go to once a week. You are right, it does take some practice to get back in that rhythm. And falling isn't so easy to shake off as I remember. Thought I had whiplash. Last week I made my goal of not falling.

I love when mommies actually get out and do stuff with their kids, instead of sitting and watching them. Missed memory opportunities!

We make a difference.

That sounds like so much fun! I remember going to the local roller rink Friday and Saturday nights when I was little. I even remember when rollerblades or "in line" skates were introduced! :)

All the "cool" people (teenagers) at the skating rink were using in-lines when I went the other night. I had trouble just staying upright on four regular wheels!
