For her birthday party this year, Miss Priss thought she wanted to have a skating party. Because she had never been skating before, I thought it would be smart for us to "test" it out before we had a whole party there! So one Saturday when Aunt Laura and cousin Drew were visiting we decided to pick up and take the kids to the skating rink.
Of course it was great to begin with, but as the girls figured out that it was a lot harder than it looks, they weren't so crazy about it any more. Drew, who has been skating a few times before, was like an old pro. He and I had fun racing round and round the rink. The girls didn't like it as much as they thought! Overall we still had fun, but Miss Priss quickly decided that she would rather have a bowling party!
The kids even talked D into going out on the floor with them. She agreed to go if she could just walk beside them to help them skate. I couldn't get any of the other adults to put skates on and get out there with me. :(

Happy Birthday, Miss Priss!
The pics of the brown skates with the orange wheels bring back a lot of memories! :) Great idea to take them before you planned a party! I wouldn't have even thought of that. L keeps saying she wants a skate party. I need to let her try it out too!
These pictures bring back old memories from when I used to roller skate, let's say about 55 years ago?
