Remember the good old days when you used to go to the roller rink and listen to pop songs and skate around & around in circles for hours, not really caring if you ran into anyone? Well…for Christopher’s 7th birthday party, we rented out a table for 20 people at the local rink and invited his closest friends (and his mother’s closest friends) and let the kids skate around & fall down for a couple of hours. Surprisingly, no one got severly injured and much fun was had by all! And new memories were made…
Cool Star Wars Cake!
Careful…
Careful…
…and he’s GOT IT!
Rollin’ with the Pack!
This ain’t so hard
Ava went for a spin
Obviously too much cake
Skates run in all sizes!

What an awesome birthday party! When I was about his age…back when the skate wheels were carved from stone…the PTA put on a monthly skating party. Best times of my childhood! A few years ago, my company rented a fun park for our summer picnic. It included a roller rink, and I couldn’t wait to get out there. Only, somehow, in the 20 years since I had last been on skates, my ankles got weak and my balance was way off. I spent the majority of the time on my butt, with aching muscles for a week afterward.
